Medtronic Vascular recalls specific SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters for potential 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 Vascular is recalling a specific type of cardiovascular catheter due to a risk of internal wires becoming exposed, which could cause complications during procedures. This affects catheters with the model number SA6JR40SHA.
The catheter's outer layer may break down, exposing the internal stainless-steel wires. This could cause tissue damage or blockages during procedures if the wires move unexpectedly.
Cardiovascular doctors and medical staff who use the recalled catheters are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these catheters could face complications.
Check for the model number SA6JR40SHA on the catheter's packaging or label. The catheter is designed for cardiovascular use and has a specific length and size.
Look for the model number SA6JR40SHA on the catheter's packaging or label to confirm if it's affected.
The recall indicates a potential risk, so it's recommended to check if your catheter is affected before use.
The recall does not specify a remedy, so contact Medtronic Vascular directly for guidance.
Check for the model number SA6JR40SHA on the catheter's packaging or label.
