    Advanced Bionics is notifying clinicians of this situation so that they can provide appropriate clinical management. The notification letter sent to clinicians in the United States was sent via FedEx so that delivery information could be confirmed. The letter advises that Advanced Bionics recently became aware of a tuning issue with some Platinum Series and S-Series headpieces shipped from May 2007 through April 2008. Auria and Harmony headpieces are not affected by this issue. Tuning refers to the process through which the headpiece's communication frequency is adjusted to match that of the internal device. Since discovery of this issue firm has conducted an extensive technical analysis showing that the use of these headpieces does not pose any safety risk to the patient. While there has been no increase in the number of headpiece-related complaints, firm advises of the potential clinical symptoms: -No lock -Intermittent lock -Implant locks, but cannot measure impedances -Reduction in battery life, primarily for C1 patients with thick flaps. Per the letter, as long as the system maintains lock, there is no degradation in sound quality or stimulation. Further, the impact on battery life for CII and HiRes 90K patients is minimal. Medical professionals are advised that If they have any patients who display any of these clinical symptoms that they attribute to an affected headpiece, to advise the patient to contact Advanced Bionics Customer Service at 877-244-9541 and they will send them a replacement promptly.

    Tray, surgical, ent - Product Code MMO
  • Causa
    The firm will recall and replace the identified instrument trays in the field, with trays that have improved labeling, including lids that contain the statement indicating 'prevacuum only".
  • Acción
    Medtronic sent a Customer Commincation Recall Letter to all affected customers with the following information: Subject: URGENT PRODUCT Recall  Immediate Attention Required MEDTRONIC XOMED INSTRUMENT TRAYS - model numbers provided on Attachment One - all lots distributed prior to July 2013 Dear Purchasing Manager, Risk Manager and Central Supply Manager/Supervisor: This letter is to inform you that Medtronic Surgical Technologies (ENT Division) is initiating a voluntary recall to remove certain instrument trays from the field and replace them with trays that have modified labeling. Medtronic Xomed Instrument Trays are intended for the storage and transportation of reusable surgical instruments. These trays are not intended and not designed to maintain sterility. We are aware, however, that some users may also choose to use the trays for holding instruments during steam sterilization. If the user chooses to sterilize instruments within these instrument trays, they must validate the sterilization process. These users should be aware of the following issue: Issue Description: During the validation of a new instrument, testing revealed that use of a GRAVITY steam cycle with one of the listed instrument trays did not produce the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 recommended by industry standard (ANSI/AAMI ST77:2006). A subsequent investigation of all Medtronic Xomed instrument trays identified additional trays as having certain locations within the tray that would not meet the recommended sterilization level of SAL10-6 during GRAVITY steam sterilization cycles. The trays identified through the testing are the subject trays involved in this field action. Instruments that are sterilized in the worst-case locations of the identified trays have a higher potential to be inadequately sterilized. An instrument that is inadequately sterilized can become the source of cross-contamination or cross-infection when used in multiple surgical procedures. At this time
