Contaminated heart surgery devices may pose infection risk to thousands
Health officials are asking hospitals to warn heart surgery patients about a potentially life-threatening infection linked to heating and cooling devices used during some operations.It's not the first time the devices have been flagged for infection-related concerns, but the latest warning from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests the risk is more widespread than originally thought."Although thousands of patients in the United States have been notified regarding potential exposure to contaminated heater-cooler devices, the number who were exposed might be much larger," the new CDC report warned.
