Recall Details
- Company:
- Medtronic Neuromodulation
- Reason for Recall:
- Medtronic neurostimulators (used with pain and deep brain stimulation therapy) have a cycling feature that, when enabled, allows stimulation output to be toggled on and off based on the programmed settings. The use of this feature is determined by the physician and set using the clinician programmer. Current labeling indicates the use of cycling improves device longevity and recharge interval
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.

Enhanced Verify Evaluation Handset (CFN HH90130FA)
Medtronic Neuromodulation
Evaluation handsets may not be able to communicate with the neurostimulator due to handsets having a faster processing speed than prior handsets. An inability to connect may cause the therapy to stop being delivered and a system error will be displayed. Patient may experience return of underlying disease symptoms (e.g. overactive bladder, urinary retention, or fecal incontinence) based on their response to stimulation during the evaluation period.
