The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 19 announced the recall by Maquet/Datascope (Fairfield, New Jersey) of its System CS100, CS100i, and CS300 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps. The recall also applies to System 98 or System 98XT IABP that was converted to a CS100i or CS 300 IABP.

The recall was initiated because of a potential electrical test failure code. The company received a complaint that has been associated with a patient death because the device failed to initiate therapy.

Affected units were distributed between March 23, 2003 and December 11, 2013.
