What the company is doing
Terumo issued URGENT Medical Device Removal letter on 11/11/2020 to all end users who have received potentially affected product via 2-day FedEx mailing. The letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: Remove of the Capiox FX25 Advance Reservoir/Oxygenator assembly from the cardboard box(es) but keep the unit within the sterile Tyvek pouch bag. " Review the label on the back of the reservoir to determine if the configuration is East or West. " Rotate the unit until the blood outlet port of the oxygenator is facing the observer (blood outlet port is evident by the red cap on the oxygenator port). With the blood outlet port facing the observer, locate the water ports on the end cap of the oxygenator. If the Water ports are facing to the left with the blood outlet port facing the observer, then the unit is an East configuration. If the Water ports are facing to the right with the blood outlet port facing the observer, then the unit is a West configuration (see photos below). " If you identify an incorrectly configured oxygenator, follow the instructions on the response form and contact Terumo CVS to return the device. CUSTOMER INSTRUCTIONS 1.
