Medtronic Vascular recalls specific SHERPA NX catheters for potential wire exposure risk. Learn if your model is affected and what to do.
There is a potential for extensive loss of primary segment material exposing underlying stainless-steel braid wires on a subset of 6F Sherpa catheters.
Medtronic Vascular is recalling a specific type of cardiovascular catheter due to a risk of exposed metal wires. This could cause serious injury if the catheter moves inside the body.
The catheter's inner layer may break, exposing metal wires that could cause injury if the catheter shifts during use. This is a risk during procedures where the catheter is moved inside the body.
Cardiovascular patients who use the recalled catheter model are most at risk. Healthcare providers who have this catheter in their inventory may also be affected.
Check for the model name SHERPA NX ACTIVE GUIDING CATHETER, 6F CHAMP2.0 SH, .070", reference number SA6CHAMP20SH. The product was sold with a GTIN of 00613994823342.
Verify your catheter's model, size, and reference number against the list provided in the recall notice.
The recall states there is a potential risk of wire exposure, so it is not safe to use without checking the recall details.
