Product
FlowCOUPLER. An implantable device that is used to detect blood flow in vessels. Used in the end-to-end anastomosis of veins and arteries normally encountered in microsurgical and vascular reconstructive procedures. The FlowCOUPLER System is intended to detect blood flow and confirm vessel patency intra-operatively and post-operatively at the anastomotic site. Baxter Healthcare.
Reason
Baxter Healthcare is recalling the FlowCOUPLER Device because there is a possibility that some units may not maintain electrical continuity during handling intra-operatively and post-operatively, resulting in a loss of Doppler signal. This may result in the inability to monitor anastomotic patency, with the possibility that blood flow may not be appropriately monitored.
