The VASOVIEW HEMOPRO 2 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System is designed for use in conjunction with the 7 mm extended length endoscope. The Harvesting Cannula has four lumens which house the endoscope, C-Ring, distal lens washer tube, and Harvesting Tool for cutting and cauterizing vessel branches. The Harvesting Tool has two curved jaws. One of the jaws contains the heating elements for branch cutting and cauterization and spot cautery. An area near the tip of the convex side of the jaw is used for spot cautery. The activation toggle is used to control the jaws to activate the heating elements. Positioning the device, cutting, and cauterization are performed under endoscopic visualization. The device is intended for specific use with the VASOVIEW HEMOPRO Power Supply, VASOVIEW HEMOPRO 2 extension cable, and an adapter cable.

Reason: There have been at least 12 complaints from users as of March 3, 2025, reporting that they identified the ceramic C-Ring to be broken in half during use of the device. The ceramic C-Ring has a potential to break while in use. Maquet/Getinge determined that the issue was limited to the units of VH-4000 and VH-4001 manufactured with ceramic C-Ring, and the ceramic C-Ring was implemented in the Hemopro 2 devices from November 5, 2024, through February 14, 2025.
