CardioQuip, LLC is recalling 275 units of its Modular Cooler-Heater (Models MCH-1000(m) and MCH-1000(i)) because the heating chamber can malfunction, causing internal components to melt or burn. These devices are used in medical settings to regulate patient temperature, and a failure could lead to smoke or fire within the clinical environment. Affected units were distributed in 15 states and can be identified by specific serial numbers listed on the device's identification plate.
The heating chamber components may fail and overheat, resulting in the melting or burning of plastic and electrical parts. This poses a significant risk of fire, smoke inhalation, or device failure during a medical procedure.
