2nd Generation CentriMag Primary Console, REF: 201-90401, 201-90701, 201-90411, 201-90421, 201-30300, L201-90401, L201-90411, L201-90421, part of the CentriMag Circulatory Support System

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

Due to a component change, the console part of a circulatory support system may not conform to the IEC 61000-4-5 standard, so if subjected to a power surge above 1.8kV and up to 2.0 kV, the console may shut down completely without alarm, pumping would cease, and the patient would have to be switched to a backup circulatory support system.

What to do
