Medtronic Bio-Console 560 Recall

WASHINGTON, DC – The US Food and Drug Administration announced the Class I recall of Medtronic Perfusion Systems’ extracorporeal blood pumping console. Class I recalls are the most severe type of recall issued by the FDA and identifies a product as having the potential to cause injury or death. According to the FDA’s press release, Medtronic recalled its Bio-Console 560 blood pumping console because of a defect that could cause an electrical failure that stops the pump causing serious injury or death.

According to the FDA’s press release, several other issues are reported with the medical device, including a burning odor during use, the interface becoming blank, and smoke emanating from the device. When a Medtronic blood pump stopped or when the interface screen went blank, users worked “the pump by using a hand crank until the device restarted or replaced with a backup unit.”

The Medtronic Bio-Console 560 blood pumping console is utilized to pump and return blood to a patient during cardiopulmonary bypass. The unit is able to pump the blood for up to six hours per time used.

The FDA states that there have been nine reported complaints about the recalled device. The recall includes 93 Medtronic Bio-Console 560 blood pumping consoles sold between April 1, 2019 and Feb. 21, 2021.

I can't thank Yesenia and the team at Parker Waichman for helping me with my case. I was treated with the most professional help and respect.

Thank you again to her and everyone at Parker Waichman!

I would like to thank and recommend Parker Waichman LLP to anyone who has a loved one in a nursing home and is not satisfied with the poor inr care and neglect most of them provide, I was assigned a paralegal named Cindy Custodio who has been there every step of the way to answer any questions I have, she's very knowledgeable and patient, and makes sure I have all the info I need..she also went out of her way to give me advice on how to obtain all the proper paperwork I needed for the lawyer but also advised me on how to get the best care for my elderly father after being put through a very traumatic experience..... She's a truly good person and very caring also, I'm thankful for all of her help and just wanted to let Parker Waichman know what a valuable asset she is to your firm! Thank you for everything Cindy!!!
