Recall Details
- Company:
- Medtronic Inc
- Reason for Recall:
- Medtronic identified an issue with specific models and lots of the PowerCross .018 Over the Wire (OTW) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Dilatation Catheter. During an unrelated manufacturing inspection of scrapped products, an out of specification condition was observed. The catheter outer shafts were pinched and deformed at the proximal balloon bond. Bench testing of affected devices showed that this resulted in either the inability to inflate the device, a slow deflation, or the inability to deflate the device post expansion.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- terminated

There is a potential for delayed time to high-voltage (HV) therapy should a rare sequence of events occur.
In prior SmartSync application versions, the Abort button stopped the test that was selected. During an induction test, there was a limited window of time for the user to abort a therapy, thereby limiting the user's ability to cancel a high voltage therapy delivery.
