Reason

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems (Terumo CVS) is initiating a voluntary field correction of the Electronic Patient Gas System (EPGS) internal flowmeter included with Terumo System 1 devices because the gas flow rate output of the EPGS, which is reported in the Terumo System 1 Central Control Monitor (CCM), may be inaccurate. Through internal investigation, Terumo CVS identified that the cause of the potential inaccuracies is a defect in the EPGS internal flowmeter. Additionally, while the user may notice that the intended gas flow setpoint (slider) and the delivered gas flow reading on the CCM display do not match, there may be no other notification of the fault condition on the CCM.
