Medtronic recalls Enhanced Verify Evaluation Handsets (CFN HH90130FA) due to potential communication failure with neurostimulators, which may cause therapy interruption and return of symptoms like urinary retention or incontinence.
Evaluation handsets may not be able to communicate with the neurostimulator due to handsets having a faster processing speed than prior handsets. An inability to connect may cause the therapy to stop being delivered and a system error will be displayed. Patient may experience return of underlying disease symptoms (e.g. overactive bladder, urinary retention, or fecal incontinence) based on their response to stimulation during the evaluation period.
