Medtronic recalls specific SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters for potential wire exposure during cardiovascular procedures. Affected models include 6F JR4.0, .070" with reference SA6JR405.
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 due to a risk of internal wires becoming exposed. This could lead to complications during medical procedures if the catheter is used improperly.
The catheter may lose its primary segment material, exposing stainless-steel braid wires. This could cause unintended tissue damage or complications during procedures if the catheter is used without proper protection.
Cardiovascular patients undergoing procedures with the recalled catheters. Medical professionals using the specific model are most at risk.
Check for the model 6F JR4.0, .070" with reference SA6JR405. The catheter is used for cardiovascular procedures and has the GTIN 20613994822325.
Verify the model number, 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 recommended for use until the remedy is applied.
