Due to complaints received reporting cracks and/or leaks of the stopcocks associated with the external drainage and monitoring system (EDMS).
On 11/01/2024, the firm sent an URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION Letter via US mail to customers informing them that through customer complaints, the firm is aware of potential cracking and leaking in the "stopcock" components on the Becker and Exacta External Drainage and Monitoring Systems. Customer are instructed to: Recommended Mitigations: -Prior to use, inspect all stopcocks and connections to ensure that connections are secure and there are no visible cracks in the stopcocks. If cracks or leaks are identified, do not use return the device to Medtronic. -The system must be pre-filled with sterile isotonic saline solution prior to connecting to the patient and all connections checked to ensure that fittings (connections) are tight and leak-free. -All connections should be finger tightened. Over tightening can cause cracks and leaks to occur. -After cleaning with alcohol, or a disinfectant containing alcohol, allow to air dry completely prior to connecting the system. Patient Management Recommendations: -If system develops cracks/leaks during use, replace using sterile technique and return the damaged system to Medtronic. If leaks occur with the Patient Line Stopcock, consider application of a hemostat or other clamp to the proximal patient line while coordinating a replacement if occlusion of the patient line does not create a risk to the patient. -In the product labeling, all patients with EDMS should be monitored for evidence of infection. If cracks or leaks, the system should be replaced, and the patient should continue to be monitored for evidence of infection. If customer chooses to return unused product contact Medtronic Customer Service via email: [email protected], or Phone: 1-800-874-5797 Option 1, and mention FA1452, to initiate return process.
