Medtronic recalls specific SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters for possible wire exposure risk during cardiovascular procedures.
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 is recalling certain SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters used in cardiovascular procedures. These catheters may expose underlying steel wires, potentially causing serious complications during medical procedures.
The catheter's primary segment material could become exposed, revealing stainless-steel braid wires. This might cause damage to blood vessels or other complications during procedures.
Cardiovascular doctors and medical staff who use these catheters during procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters as part of treatment may also be affected.
