For the HeartMate Mobile Power Unit Device Recall

In March of 2025, Abbott is notifying hospital customers of occurrences where certain units of the HeartMate™ Mobile Power Unit (MPU), as used with HeartMate 3™ Left Ventricular Assist System (LVAS) and HeartMate II™ LVAS, have experienced sudden, unexpected performance issues such as not turning on, unprompted shut down, or suddenly turning off and restarting, with the System Controller indicating a Yellow Wrench alarm or “No External Power” alarm. These issues have been linked to an electrical component in certain MPUs distributed between April 2024 and February 2025. Abbott has asked that clinicians review the issue with impacted patients and provide a patient letter as applicable and discontinue the use of impacted units currently experiencing the performance issues described. Replacement of impacted MPU devices will begin in June 2025 or earlier when sufficient inventory is available.
