Description

Cobe CML Duo Flat Sheet Membrane Oxygenator/Reservoir, sterile, (Standalone systems). Catalog Numbers: 050226400, 050422400. COBE Cardiovascular, Inc..

Reason

Cooling and rewarming time is extended. Efficiency of the heat exchangers is reduced because many of the folds that are critical to heat exchange on the blood side of the units were blocked with a metalic material, thus decreasing the surface area needed for proper heat transfer.
