App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Baxter Healthcare is recalling the FlowCOUPLER Device because there is a possibility that some units may not maintain electrical continuity during handling intra-operatively and post-operatively, resulting in a loss of Doppler signal. This may result in the inability to monitor anastomotic patency, with the possibility that blood flow may not be appropriately monitored.
