Medtronic recalls specific Abre Venous Self-Expanding Stent models due to a Nitinol anomaly that may reduce stent diameter and cause migration. Affected models include AB9G14120090 and others listed in the recall notice.
Stents may be impacted by a Nitinol anomaly which causes a reduced stent diameter when deployed and corresponding reduced radial force. Issue may result in stent migration.
Medtronic is recalling certain Abre Venous Self-Expanding Stent models because a defect in the Nitinol material can cause the stent to become narrower and move from its intended position. This could lead to complications in blood flow and require additional medical intervention.
The stent may become narrower due to a Nitinol anomaly, which reduces its ability to stay properly positioned. This can cause the stent to move (migrate) within the blood vessel, potentially leading to blockages or other complications.
Patients who have received one of the recalled stent models during vascular procedures are likely affected. Those with the specific model numbers listed in the recall are at risk of stent migration.
Check the model numbers on the stent packaging or device label for AB9G14120090, AB9G12100090, AB9G14080090, AB9G12080090, AB9U12060090, or other listed numbers. Also look for the UDI-DI (GTIN) codes provided in the recall notice.
Review the stent model numbers on the device label or packaging to see if they match the recalled models listed in the recall notice.
The recall states that a Nitinol anomaly may cause the stent to have a reduced diameter when deployed, which can lead to stent migration.
Check the model numbers on the stent packaging or device label for the recalled numbers such as AB9G14120090 or AB9G12100090.
The recall does not specify a remedy; the official notice states that the remedy is null, so no action is required beyond checking if your stent is affected.
