Oscor Inc. has recalled certain lots of its ATAR Extension Cable due to a risk of them separating from the connectors during use. The extension cable intended to connect an electrode/lead from a patient or another cable to a diagnostic machine or an external pacemaker. “Detachment of the extension cable and connectors can result in a delay and/or failure of cardiac pacing therapy for the patient,” a [recall notice ](https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm568011.htm?ref=fdaweb.com)says. “As the failure occurs without warning, it is possible that pacing-dependent patients may suddenly be left unpaced without adequate warning to their caregivers to quickly exchange the defective cable. Sudden pacing delay and/or failure may result in immediate and serious adverse health consequences, including death.”
