Medtronic Vascular recalls SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters (6F, EBU3.5, 110cm) due to potential exposure of stainless-steel wires. Affected units have specific model and 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 for cardiovascular use. The recall is due to a risk of stainless-steel wires becoming exposed, which could cause injury during medical procedures.
The catheter's primary segment material can break off, exposing the underlying stainless-steel braid wires. This could lead to injury if the wires become tangled or cause damage during a procedure.
Healthcare professionals using the catheters for procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters during medical treatments may also be affected.
Check for the model number 6F, EBU3.5, 110CM.070", and reference SA6EBU35A. All units sold with this specific model and serial numbers are affected.
Verify the model number and reference code on the catheter to confirm if it matches the recalled items.
