Health Canada lists Type I recall of Vantive CWP 800 systems over defective circuit breakers

🇨🇦 Health Canada · Mon 02 Nov 2026

Health Canada has published a Type I recall of CWP 800 systems from Vantive Health GmbH, citing defective circuit breakers and a medical-device performance issue.

Health Canada published a health product recall on 2 November 2026 for CWP 800 systems made by Vantive Health GmbH. The notice gives the issue as defective circuit breakers and classes it as a medical-device performance problem.

The recall is classed as Type I, and the recall date is 30 October 2026. Health Canada's identification number is RA-82900. Under Health Canada's classification, Type I is the most serious category, used where use of a product is likely to cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The notice lists three affected entries. CWP 800RO2 is shown with model or catalogue number 115642 and no lot or serial number ("not applicable"). CWP 800RO1 appears twice under catalogue number 115641, with lot or serial numbers 83015851 and 83015856.

Vantive Health GmbH is based at Thurgauerstrasse 130, Glattpark (Opfikon), Switzerland. Health Canada files the recall under medical devices in gastroenterology and urology, with healthcare professionals as the audience. The notice's only instruction is to contact the manufacturer for additional information. It gives no details on the failure mechanism, any injuries or the corrective action.

What it means for your team

  • Healthcare facilities in Canada holding CWP 800RO1 or CWP 800RO2 units should check them against the listed catalogue and lot or serial numbers.
  • Manufacturers and distributors should note the Type I classification, which signals the highest level of concern in Health Canada's recall system.
  • The notice gives no corrective-action details, so affected sites should contact Vantive Health GmbH directly, as Health Canada advises.
  • Quality and vigilance teams elsewhere may want to check whether the same models or components are present in their own markets, since the notice says nothing about other jurisdictions.
