Maquet Datascope has recalled its CardioSave Hybrid Intra-aortic Balloon Pump due to a design issue that allows fluid (e.g., saline) to seep into the device. The fluid can corrode internal components (electronic circuit boards) that could lead to device malfunction and a delay or interruption of therapy, according to a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm610095.htm?ref=fdaweb.com). The cardiac assist device is used with patients undergoing cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, and to treat patients with acute coronary syndrome or complications from heart failure.
