Description
**Recall Expanded to add these models: Bigger Better-Bladder cardiopulmonary bypass blood reservoir; Models: BBB38 (individual, sterile, pouched) and BBB38NS (sold bulk to kit manufacturers)
Reason
The device is used as part of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cardiopulmonary bypass circuits and may collapse during use which can increase resistance to flow in the venous line and cause a drop in circuit blood flow.
