Abbott Vascular Inc. is recalling 33,473 cardiovascular inflation devices, including the 20/30 Indeflator and various Priority Pack Accessory Kits. These devices are used during medical procedures to create and monitor pressure in balloon catheters. The recall was initiated because the devices may leak at the hose connection or the pressure gauge, which could accidentally introduce air into a patient's bloodstream. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date, but the devices were distributed to hospitals and surgery centers across 39 U.S. states and multiple international locations.
A leak in the inflation device could cause an air embolism, which is a bubble of air that enters the blood vessels. This can block blood flow and lead to life-threatening complications, including stroke, heart attack, or permanent organ damage.
