Reason for recall
Potential software error in the Automated Impella Controller ("AIC" ) when used in conjunction with left ventricular Impella devices.
FDA-determined cause: Under Investigation by firm
Action taken
Abiomed notified consignees on about 05/14/2026 via letter titled "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL (CORRECTION)." Consignees were made aware of the issue and potential risk and were informed that devices were not being removed, and hospital inventory can continue to be used. Specific, outlined scenarios were explained and that if they were to occur, that a console exchange is unnecessary as the phenomenon will recur on the exchange device. Abiomed is actively working on a software update to the AIC to address this issue. Consignees were instructed to complete and return the provided business reply form, forward the notice to anyone in each facility that needs to be informed, post copy of the notice in a visible area for awareness, and if any affected products have been forwarded to another facility, contact that facility and provide them with the notice.
