Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 70,808 blood pump rotors and hemodialysis machines are being recalled due to a defect where guide sheaves can become loose or dislodged. These components are used in several models of the 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine as well as individual replacement parts. This issue was identified following an increased number of clinic complaints regarding the pump rotors after they had been in use for a period of time. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer, Fresenius Medical Care, to discuss how this recall affects their equipment and necessary maintenance.

Risk

If the guide sheaves on the blood pump rotor become loose or dislodged, the pump may fail to operate correctly during dialysis treatment. This failure could interrupt treatment or cause improper blood flow, potentially leading to serious health complications for patients depending on the dialysis machine.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your facility or home use machine is affected by checking the model and serial numbers. Affected machines include 2008T BlueStar models 191124, 191126, 191128, and 191130, as well as standalone Blood Pump Rotors with model number F40015481 Rev A.
  2. For hemodialysis machines, verify your specific serial number against the extensive list of affected units provided in the recall notice (e.g., Serial Numbers starting with 0T0S, 1T0S, 2T0S, 3T0S, or 4T0S).
  3. Inspect the blood pump rotor component for any signs of loose or dislodged guide sheaves if you are trained to perform equipment maintenance.
  4. If you are a patient, contact your healthcare provider or dialysis clinic immediately to ensure your machine has been inspected or to schedule a component replacement.
  5. Contact Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. at 1-888-463-6332 for further technical instructions or to arrange for necessary repairs and replacements.
  6. Call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332 or visit www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls if you have additional questions regarding this safety recall.
