Automated Impella Controller (AIC) with the below product descriptions and corresponding Product Codes. 1. Impella Controller, Packaged, CA; Product Code: 0042-0000-CA. 2. Impella Controller, Packaged, EU; Product Code: 0042-0000-EU. 3. Impella Controller, Packaged, UK; Product Code: 0042-0000-UK. 4. Impella Controller, Packaged, US; Product Code: 0042-0000-US.

Reason / hazard

Retrospective submission for following issues identified: 1. Alarm failures, power-path faults, electrical-short risks, and inaccurate motor-current sensing were identified in certain AIC consoles. 2. There is improper alignment between the purge cassette and the motor drive in the AIC. This can result in a piston block event and lead to the inability to complete priming of the purge system, requiring the user to switch to backup AIC console.
