  • Action
    The firm notified customers via phone alerting them of this affected device, issue, potential hazard, correction, and instructions. The communication also included scheduling an expedited service call for a Field Service Technician to replace the affected Flowmeter Module with a corrected Flowmeter Module. When necessary to avoid delaying or cancelling life-sustaining surgery, users can continue to use the Flowmeter Module while awaiting replacement. Once the issue is recognized by the user, if a replacement Flowmeter Module is available, replacement and reassignment of safety connections of the Flowmeter Module can be accomplished in less than 15 seconds. In the event that a replacement Flowmeter Module is not available, a less common mitigation is the use of a back-up stand-alone centrifugal pump or a stand-alone ultrasonic flowmeter system to provide flow data. Customers should receive a copy of the Urgent Medical Device Recall phone script by e-mail along with a Customer Response Form. The e-mail should be reviewed, and the form completed and returned as indicated. Questions or concerns can be directed Terumo CVS Customer Service at 1-800-521-2818.
