An official Health Canada notice concerns Fresenius blood pump rotor. This is a field action notification by the manufacturer, Fresenius USA Inc. For Blood Pump Rotor Spare Parts that are compatible with 2008 series hemodialysis machine. The Blood Pump Rotor turns to move the blood along the blood pump segment of the machine. An increased number of complaints were reported to the manufacturer on the Blood Pump Rotor (p/n - f40015481 rev a, implemented in May 2020) after a period of use by clinics noting loose/dislodged guide sheaves. After thorough review of the complaints and root cause investigation, the manufacturer updated the Blood Pump Rotor design to p/n - f40015481 rev c to address customer complaints for bent guide pins due to improper unloading of blood lines.
