  • NOTICE: Heater-Cooler Device

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning about the potential risk of a very rare infection from a device used to heat and cool blood during open heart surgery.

    Symptoms of the infection, called nontuberculous mycobacteria or NTM, include night sweats, muscle aches, unintentional weight loss, fatigue or unexplained fever. Patients experiencing any of these symptoms should seek medical care.
