Medtronic Vascular recalls SHERPA NX ACTIVE GUIDING CATHETER models with potential wire exposure. Learn what to do if affected.
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. This could lead to complications during medical procedures.
The catheter's primary segment material can break off, exposing the underlying stainless-steel wires. This could cause complications during medical procedures if the wires become tangled or kinked.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter for cardiovascular procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving the catheter during procedures may also be affected.
Check for the model name 'SHERPA NX ACTIVE GUIDING CATHETER', size 6F AL2.0, .070", and reference number SA6AL205. The product was sold with a GTIN of 20613994842248.
Identify the model, size, and reference number to confirm if your catheter is affected.
The recall indicates a potential risk, so it is not recommended for use until the remedy is applied.
Check the product details to confirm if it is affected; contact Medtronic Vascular for further instructions.
The recall record does not specify a remedy, so contact Medtronic Vascular directly for assistance.
