Editor's Note

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 4 classified the recall by Datascope Corp/Maquet (Mahwah, New Jersey) of its intra-aortic balloon pump as Class I, the most serious.

The recall was issued because of the risk of a valve failure, which prevents the balloon from inflating and deflating properly. Device failure may result in immediate and serious adverse health consequences, including death.
