Stockert 3T Heater-Cooler Device Injuries

When performing cardiothoracic or other types of surgeries, doctors will often use a "heater-cooler device" to help even out the patient's temperature as part of the care. As the name suggests, these devices send temperature-controlled water to heat exchangers or warming and cooling blankets to help control body temperature, helping patients heal quicker.

While presumed safe to use, recent studies have shown that the LivaNova PLC Stockert 3T heater-cooling devices can actually be life threatening when used during heart or lung surgeries because the water in the devices can be contaminated. Once the water is contaminated, the bacterium becomes aerosolized and comes in contact with the unconscious patient, taking up to four years to spread the infection.
