Medtronic has become aware that certain lots of the VCLAS 3MM, 10MM, and 15MM laser diffusing fibers were not tested at intended laser power levels, due to an issue related to calibration of the test equipment, which can lead to the potential for low laser energy output from fiber or fiber burnout at lower wattage.

Certain VOLISTA StandOP Surgical Lights have been identified as having a potential light head detachment issue. Improper assembly of the bracket that connects the light head to the axle fork could result in the light head bracket breaking, causing the light head to detach from the arm and become suspended only from the cabling inside the arm. Use of an affected device may result in serious injury to patient and/or medical staff if the light head detaches and drops, impacting patient and/or medical staff during demonstration, service, or use.
