UPDATE 2-US FDA advises healthcare facilities to switch from Getinge's heart devices
The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday advised healthcare facilities to move away from using Getinge's heart devices in patients as they faced safety and quality concerns despite a string of recalls. Getinge did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The FDA suggests providers to move away from the use of Getinge's Cardiosave Hybrid and Rescue Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) devices and its Cardiohelp system and HLS Sets.
