Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. is recalling 2,105 Blood Pump Rotor spare parts used in various 2008K@HOME Hemodialysis Systems. The recall was initiated because of an increased number of reports from clinics regarding loose or dislodged guide sheaves on the rotor assembly (Part Number F40015481 REV A) after a period of use. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer immediately for instructions on how to handle affected equipment.
If the guide sheaves on the blood pump rotor become loose or dislodged, the hemodialysis system may fail to pump blood correctly or could damage the blood tubing set during treatment. This defect could lead to an interruption in therapy or potential blood loss, posing a moderate risk to patients undergoing home or clinical dialysis.
Manufacturer initiated notification and corrective action.
