Product Name/Description	NC Sprinter RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter ( Angioplasty balloon dilatation catheter) Model Number: NCSP22512X Lot Number: 207002011 ARTG 154737

Recall Action Classification	Class II

Responsible Entity	Medtronic Australasia Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue	Medtronic has identified a labelling issue for lot number 207002011 of the NC Sprinter RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter, Model NCSP22512X, in which the compliance chart contained inside the package incorrectly references a 2.5mm balloon diameter instead of the correct 2.25mm diameter. If the affected product was utilised referencing the incorrect compliance chart, the target diameter of the balloon may be less than expected, resulting in suboptimal treatment. The situation would require further inflation at a higher pressure or the use of another balloon catheter to resolve the stenosis, resulting in longer procedural duration.
