Product Description

Maquet HCU 30 Coolant Type R134A Filling weight 250 g 120 V 50-60 Hz 1920 W Product Usage: The Heater Cooler Unit (HCU) 30 is intended to circulate water through heat exchange circuits to warm or cool a patient during short duration cardiopulmonary bypass procedures lasting 6 hours or less.

Reason for Recall

Failure of the HEATER-COOLER UNIT (HCU 30) Type 2 power supply board. A drop of more than 10% voltage can cause overheating and subsequent failing of the R56 thermistor of the power supply board. Board failure typically occurs when the compressor is switched on (prior to patient use); however, it can occur during patient use. This can shut down the compressor or the entire HCU 30 Type 2 unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.

Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.

What Should You Do?

Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
