Medtronic Vascular recalls SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters (6F, CHAMP0.5, 100CM) due to potential loss of primary segment material exposing stainless-steel wires. Affected units have specific lot/serial numbers.
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 certain SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters used in cardiovascular procedures because a subset may lose the outer layer, exposing metal wires that could cause injury. This recall affects medical professionals and hospitals that use these catheters for procedures.
The catheter's outer layer may break off, exposing the inner stainless-steel wires. This could cause injury during procedures if the wires move unexpectedly or become tangled.

Check for the model: SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheter, 6F, CHAMP0.5, 100CM.070" with reference number SA6CHAMP05. All units have specific lot/serial numbers.
