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. The recall is due to a potential risk of stainless steel wires becoming exposed, which could cause complications during medical procedures.
The catheter's primary segment material could become exposed, revealing stainless steel braid wires. This might cause unintended tissue damage or complications during procedures if the wires are not properly contained.
Cardiovascular doctors and medical professionals who use the recalled catheters for procedures are affected. Patients receiving these catheters during procedures may be at risk if the catheter fails.

Identify the specific model and serial numbers to confirm if your catheter is recalled.
The recall indicates a potential risk, so it is not recommended for use until the remedy is applied.
