Medtronic recalls specific SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters for possible 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 potential risk of stainless steel 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 underlying stainless steel wires. This could cause injury during procedures if the wires become tangled or kinked.
Cardiovascular professionals who use the recalled catheters are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these catheters could face complications if the catheter malfunctions.
