Recall Action Classification Class II
Recall Action Commencement Date 9/10/2017
Responsible Entity Medtronic Australasia Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue Medtronic has determined that during servicing of certain internal components of the O-arm O2, it is possible that the high-power cable connector may come in contact with surrounding metal (toggle switch or the corner of battery tray) during the disconnecting/reconnecting process. If this occurs, it may result in an electrical short and a shock to the field service technician. Medtronic became aware of this issue via a complaint reported by a Medtronic field service technician.
Recall Action Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions Medtronic is advising users that they are developing a retrofit service kit which will be installed during the next service visit for each O-arm O2 system, no later than 15 months from service kit availability. Users may continue to use the system prior to installation of the service kit.
