Teleflex has initiated a voluntary field safety corrective action due to a potential issue with short battery run-times on the affected intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) devices. These IABP devices can be powered either by connecting to an ac power source or with battery power for mobile use. When operating the IABP device using battery power, the expected duration of pumping, after a full charge, is 90 minutes. However, Teleflex has received complaints reporting that some users of the affected IABP devices have experienced short battery run-times, including loss of power during use. Recall start date: November 7, 2022
