Neonatal Valves were manufactured with a ventricular catheter connection site shorter than the design specification. The defect can lead to difficulty in securing the valve to the proximal catheter which could result in disconnection of the ventricular catheter from the valve and shunt malfunction

There is a potential for a defect on the seal of the outer pouch of catheters. The defect may compromise the sterility of the pouch contents, which may increase the risk of post-operative infection, requiring further medical intervention.

The packaging sterile barrier does not comply with the applicable packaging standard for terminally sterilized medical devices. While the Instructions for Use (IFU) state Do not use if package has been previously opened or damaged , it is possible that the seal breach may go undetected by the user's naked eye.

Medtronic is initiating a voluntary recall because the products identified above did not adequately demonstrate acceptable packaging performance to current standards.
Incorrect valve rotor orientation due to misalignment and/or off-center positioning of the StrataMR Locator Tool: When the StrataMR valve is set in the incorrect orientation, higher valve opening pressures result leading to a corresponding underdrainage in CSF fluid performance. This condition may result in the following adverse health consequences: ventriculomegaly, headaches, nausea, vomiting and lethargy. If left untreated, underdrainage has the potential to lead to coma and death.
Medtronic Neurosurgery initiated a recall after receiving five (5) Product Experiences between February 15, 2015 and August 23, 2016 reporting of discrepancies between the pressure/performance level (PL) at which the valve was set and the readings determined via an x-ray image.
Medtronic Neurosurgery is recalling the Medtronic Duet External Drainage and Monitoring Systems because the patient line tubing in the Duet External Drainage and Monitoring Systems may become disconnected from the patient line stopcock.
