Medtronic Vascular recalls specific SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters due to potential loss of primary segment material exposing stainless steel wires. Affected units have a unique reference number and were sold for 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 certain SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters (6F, AR1.0SH 100CM.070", REF SA6AR10SH) because a subset may lose protective material, exposing sharp stainless steel wires. This could cause serious injury during medical procedures if the catheter is used improperly.
The catheter's protective layer may break off during use, exposing sharp stainless steel wires. This could cause tissue damage or injury if the catheter is moved or manipulated incorrectly during a medical procedure.
Cardiovascular doctors and medical staff who use the recalled catheters for procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing these procedures may also be affected if the catheter is used without proper safeguards.
Check for the reference number SA6AR10SH on the catheter packaging or label. The catheter is a 6F size with a specific length (100cm) and is used for cardiovascular procedures.
Look for the reference number SA6AR10SH on the catheter packaging or label to confirm if it is affected.
