FDA Devices recall · Reported September 13, 2017
CS 300 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump. It supports the heart's left ventricle by increasing coronary perfusion and reducing left ventricular work. Coronary perfusion is increased by augmenting blood pressure during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. This increase in aortic pressure promotes more blood flow through the coronary arteries. Left ventricular work is reduced by decreasing aortic end diastolic pressure and reducing resistance to ventricular ejection, resulting in a decrease in blo

Product description
CS 300 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump. It supports the heart's left ventricle by increasing coronary perfusion and reducing left ventricular work. Coronary perfusion is increased by augmenting blood pressure during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. This increase in aortic pressure promotes more blood flow through the coronary arteries. Left ventricular work is reduced by decreasing aortic end diastolic pressure and reducing resistance to ventricular ejection, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure during the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle.
Reason for recall
False blood back detection alarm and the ingress of fluids into the IABP affecting various electronic circuit boards could potentially prevent initiation or continuation of therapy.
