Official product description

Maquet HCU 30 Coolant Type R134A Filling weight 250 g 120 V 50-60 Hz 1920 W Product Usage: The Heater Cooler Unit (HCU) 30 is intended to circulate water through heat exchange circuits to warm or cool a patient during short duration cardiopulmonary bypass procedures lasting 6 hours or less.

Why the product was recalled

Failure of the HEATER-COOLER UNIT (HCU 30) Type 2 power supply board. A drop of more than 10% voltage can cause overheating and subsequent failing of the R56 thermistor of the power supply board. Board failure typically occurs when the compressor is switched on (prior to patient use); however, it can occur during patient use. This can shut down the compressor or the entire HCU 30 Type 2 unit.
