Contaminated Heater-Cooler Devices

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning about the potential risk of a very rare infection due to a non-tuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) from Sorin 3T Heater-Cooler devices used during open heart and cardio-thoracic surgery. Patients who had open heart or cardio-thoracic surgery for which a heart lung machine might have been used from early-September 2012 through mid-April 2017 should seek medical care if they are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain, night sweats, unintentional weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, unexplained fever, and/or redness, heat or pus at the surgical wound. This infection cannot be spread person-to-person. CDC estimates the risk to be less than 1 percent. We have recently diagnosed a patient who had cardiac surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital during the interval noted with this very rare infection.
