The Sorin Stockert 3T Heater-Cooler System warms and cools circulating blood and organs during open-heart surgery. Maintaining optimal temperature is critical during surgery and improves the patient’s outcome. To achieve this, tanks within the system distribute temperature-controlled water to heat exchangers or blankets to warm or cool the patient. Health officials recently discovered that patients utilizing the Sorin Stockert 3T System during surgery may have contracted a potentially life-threatening Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) infection. LivaNova PLC, the manufacturer of the Sorin Stockert 3T System, failed to provide a system that could maintain a sterile environment during surgery.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has identified an association between surgery using the Sorin Stockert 3T System and nontuberculous mycobacteria infections. NMI infections can be slow growing and symptoms take time to develop. As a result, the diagnosis of an NMI infection is often missed or delayed.
