Medtronic 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 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 if the catheter is used improperly.
The catheter may lose its primary segment material, exposing stainless-steel braid wires. This could cause complications during procedures if the wires become exposed.
Cardiovascular professionals who use the recalled catheters for procedures are affected. Patients receiving these catheters during procedures may also be at risk.

Identify the model, size, and reference number to confirm if your catheter is recalled.
The recall states there is a potential risk, so it is not recommended for use until the remedy is applied.
