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 due to a risk of internal wire exposure. This could lead to complications during medical procedures.

Cardiovascular surgeons and medical professionals who use the recalled catheters are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these catheters may also be affected.
