Technomed Europe recalls disposable subdermal needle electrodes with potential MRI burns due to inadequate safety info. Affected lots expire by 2024; stop using if used in MRI.
Burns of varying degrees can occur to patients with electrodes left in while in the MRI scanner as a result of inadequate safety information in the IFU.
Technomed Europe is recalling disposable subdermal needle electrodes that could cause burns during MRI scans because the safety instructions were incomplete. This affects patients who have these electrodes left in place while undergoing MRI.
The electrodes may cause burns during MRI scans because the safety instructions did not properly warn about risks. This happens when the electrodes are left in place during the MRI procedure, which can lead to overheating and skin damage.
Patients using these electrodes during MRI scans are most at risk. The recall applies to specific lot numbers of the disposable subdermal needle electrodes.
Check for lot numbers 044220 (exp. 1/1/2023), 045077 (exp. 3/1/2023), 045443 (exp. 4/1/2023), or 049285 (exp. 7/1/2024) on the packaging. The product is a sterile disposable subdermal needle electrode with 25 needles per package.
Look for lot numbers 044220, 045077, 045443, or 049285 on the packaging.
If you used this electrode during an MRI scan, stop using it immediately and contact your healthcare provider.
