Maquet Cardiopulmonary Gmbh is recalling approximately 3,050 Bubble Sensors (model 701055720) used with 3/8-inch by 3/32-inch tubing. Internal testing found that the connecting cable can be damaged by excessive bending near the sensor, which may lead to the device disconnecting or failing. This can trigger errors like 'Ven. bubble sensor defective' or 'Ven. bubble sensor disconnected' on connected medical devices, potentially disrupting clinical procedures.
The sensor cable can break or lose contact due to repeated bending, causing the sensor to fail or provide intermittent readings. If the bubble sensor is compromised during a procedure, it may fail to detect air in the tubing, posing a risk of air embolism or interruption of therapy to the patient.
