ELSO is providing information on ECMO equipment pertinent to our community as it relates to access to equipment and equipment issues. We will be updating this page with the latest information as we receive it. Please share any equipment updates that you believe we should share broadly to the ECMO Community at support@elso.org.

Quadrox Oxygenator Recall

This letter was sent out by Getinge to anyone who purchased a Quadrox Oxygenator in the affected time period (September 4, 2020 – March 1, 2023). This is a voluntary recall of oxygenators due to a packaging issue that may compromise sterility of the oxygenator.

ELSO Survey

ELSO is gathering feedback from ECMO Centers globally to better understand this issue. Preliminary findings are being analyzed and the survey is closed.
