• In the spring of 2015, investigators in Switzerland reported a cluster of six patients with invasive infection with Mycobacterium chimaera , a species of nontuberculous mycobacterium ubiquitous in soil and water. (cdc.gov)
  • Similar to the Swiss report, a field investigation by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, with assistance from CDC, used both epidemiologic and laboratory evidence to identify an association between invasive Mycobacterium avium complex, including M. chimaera, infections and exposure to contaminated Stöckert 3T heater-cooler devices, all manufactured by LivaNova PLC (formerly Sorin Group Deutschland GmbH) ( 2 ).

  • Although heater-cooler devices are used to regulate patients' blood temperature during cardiopulmonary bypass through water circuits that are closed, these reports suggest that aerosolized M. chimaera from the devices resulted in the invasive infections ( 1 , 2 ). (cdc.gov)
  • These results strongly suggest a point-source contamination of Stöckert 3T heater-cooler devices with M. chimaera . (cdc.gov)
  • A recent report from Germany noted that preliminary typing results of M. chimaera from heater-cooler devices from three different European countries were almost identical to samples obtained from the manufacturing site, further supporting the likelihood of point-source contamination ( 4 ). (cdc.gov)
  • CDC in collaboration with National Jewish Health completed a whole-genome sequencing analysis and results demonstrate that M. chimaera isolates from patients with heater-cooler associated infections and from the 3T heater-cooler devices from several U.S. hospitals (in Pennsylvania and Iowa) are all highly related to each other (3). (cdc.gov)
  • This evidence for likely point-source contamination of the 3T heater-cooler devices is consistent with recent reports from Europe ( http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/AlertsandNotices/ucm504213.htm External ) that describe matching of M. chimaera sequences from environmental isolates at the device production site in Germany and isolates from patients and devices in Europe.
