Recall Action Level Hospital
Recall Action Classification Class II
Recall Action Commencement Date 19/04/2024
Responsible Entity Medtronic Australasia Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue Medtronic identified devices that may have undergone a specific manufacturing sequence that requires additional engineering evaluation.

The specific sequence utilised a component lot obtained from a supplier, where a subset of this lot has the potential to be inconsistent with specification.

If this component were to fail, it may lead to an impact to device function and/or require device replacement.

To date no complaints have been reported, and all distributed devices met functional test requirements.

Current analysis indicates that the affected devices are unlikely to have been manufactured with the component being evaluated.
