    Description

    ECMO Heater Model 333, Cardiopulmonary bypass temperature controller. This device is intended to provide temperature-controlled warm water flow to a blood heat exchanger in order to maintain a patient's blood temperature. It can be used during extracorporeal circulation procedures. It is intended to use with commercially available heat exchangers.

    Reason

    The probe jack contacts (terminals) on certain of the firm's ECMO Heater devices are located too close to the solid state relay contacts (terminals) which can lead to the terminals coming into contact with each other. If this situation occurs, the service technician, user, and/or patient could be exposed to electric shock during servicing and/or use.
