Medtronic Inc. Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management Recalls

Hazard: Some Medical Device Identification Cards provided to SureScan pacemaker patients indicate they have a complete Magnetic Resonance (MR) Conditional system, when in fact, not all of their implanted leads have been FDA approved as MR Conditional.

Hazard: An issue with a USB memory component contained within a subset of CryoConsoles can result in extended procedure time.

Hazard: Medtronic is conducting a voluntary recall of all former Covidien Trellis 6 and Trellis 8 Peripheral Infusion Systems due to potential for a sterility breach of the outer packaging or pouch material. A breach of the outer pouch may compromise the outside surface sterility of the inner pouch and does not directly affect the sterility of the device components within the inner pouch.

Hazard: Possible performance issue when used with specific AA-sized (LR6) batteries. The negative terminal of a commercially available AA (LR6) battery did not maintain a sufficient connection with the battery drawer electrical contact. This issue could prevent the EPG from powering on or cause the EPG to abruptly lose primary battery power, potentially stopping delivery of pacing therapy.

Hazard: Clinicians observed debris, appearing to originate from the hemostasis valve on the proximal end of the Steerable Sheath, outside of the patients bodies.

Hazard: Events related to a pacing rate outside of the intended setting, including events of sudden increased pacing rate up to the maximum setting of 180 pulses per minute (ppm), have been reported. This is caused by the development of high resistance on internal electrical connector contacts due to oxidation over time.

Hazard: Medtronic is recalling all models of its Select 3D and Select CAP Arterial Cannula product families due to reports of the cannula body splitting near the suture collar.

Hazard: Medtronic is recalling 148 Affinity Pediatric Arterial Filters from 2 manufacturing lots because a limited quantity of filters may have a small breach in the filter media that may allow unwanted particulate or gaseous emboli to pass through the filter and the outlet of the device, which could result in serious injury to a pediatric patient including neurological damage, or potential patient death.

Hazard: Medtronic identified a specific labeling issue for specific lots of Mullins Transseptal Catheter Introducer Sheath, model 008551, in which packages labeled as Mullins 7F (French) may actually contain an 8F(French) dilator. Medtronic is requesting the return of potentially mis-labeled Mullins Transseptal Catheter Introducer 7 French Sheaths. Due to the differences in size, an 8F dilator will not

Hazard: Medtronic recently identified an issue with a subset of Consulta¿ CRT-P and Syncra¿ CRT-P devices during production. As of May 30, 2013, there have been no reported or confirmed device failures. However, because of the potential for malfunction, Medtronic is requiring the return of non-implanted devices manufactured between April 1 and May 13, 2013 for re-inspection. The issue is unique to specifi

Hazard: Medtronic has identified a labeling issue for 24 units of the Launcher coronary Guide Catheter. The two affected catheter lots are mislabeled and do not accurately reflect the catheters contained within each package.

Hazard: Medtronic has identified an issue involving specific lot numbers of the Medtronic Archer 0.035 inch (0.89mm) Super Stiff Guidewire, Models ARCSJ200W, ARCSJ260W, and ARCDJ260W, where a change in the manufacturing process has been identified as the cause for potential kinking and breaking at the proximal weld end of the outer spring coil during in-vivo use.

Hazard: Medtronic has identified an issue with a specific lot of the Archer 0.035 inch (0.89mm) Super Stiff Guidewire, model ARCSJ200W, where the PTFE (Teflon) coating has the potential to separate from the wire during in-vivo use.

Hazard: Potential for uncharacteristically rough metal edges to occur along the inner diameter of the metal tip side ports of the cannula.

Hazard: Medtronic is initiating an Urgent Medical Device Customer Notification. We have confirmed that certain Medtronic Intersept Tubing Packs contain packaging trays that are susceptible to damage that can compromise product sterility.
