Symbios and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have issued a Class 1 recall for all GoPump Rapid System kits and GOBlock Kits, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
The products are being recalled for having excessively high flow rates that could deliver medications too quickly and cause illness, seizures, heart rhythms and death. Symbios is working to have all affected products returned.
