Medtronic Vascular recalls SHERPA NX ACTIVE GUIDING CATHETER, 6F ERAD RIGHT, .070" REF SA6ERADR for cardiovascular use due to potential loss of primary segment material exposing stainless-steel wires.
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 because it may expose underlying steel wires, which could cause serious injury. This recall affects only certain models and serial numbers sold for medical use.
The catheter's primary segment material may break off, exposing the stainless-steel braid wires. This could lead to complications like tissue damage or blockages during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the specific catheter model are most at risk. Patients receiving this device during procedures may also be affected if the catheter is used improperly.
Check for the model name 'SHERPA NX ACTIVE GUIDING CATHETER', size 6F ERAD RIGHT, .070", and reference number SA6ERADR. The product was sold for cardiovascular use with GTIN 00613994824707.
Identify the model, size, and reference number to confirm if your catheter is affected.
The recall states there is a potential risk of wire exposure, so it is not safe to use without checking if it is recalled.
Check the model name 'SHERPA NX ACTIVE GUIDING CATHETER', size 6F ERAD RIGHT, .070", and reference number SA6ERADR.
The recall does not specify a remedy, so contact Medtronic Vascular directly for guidance.
