  • Acción
    Medtronic sent an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter dated June 27, 2017, to all affected consignees. The letter notifies consignees of the product correction and requests that practitioners follow the attached use instructions for devices. Practitioners are to identify product damage before each procedure by opening and closing the device jaw with the T-handle. It is instructed that practitioners not continue turning the screw if resistance is met, as this may break the washer. Clamps are not to be used if the jaws remain closed when attempting to open a clamp or if the clamp screw back is out of the clamp. It is asked that this check is done to all inventory and any damaged product is to be reported to Medtronic at 1-800-595-9709 and quarantined. Revised product is available. Consignees are asked to complete and return the provided Consignee Response Form by email to the firm at RS.NavFCA@medtronic.com or by fax to 651-367-7075. Any questions can be directed to 1-800-595-9709.
