    Reason

    Medtronic has identified a packaging issue for a subset of Epicardial Leads Model 5071. They determined that specific package seals could be compromised. Medtronic is not aware of any patient injury due to this packaging issue and their evaluation indicated the risk of patient injury is remote. However, a compromised package seal could potentially affect product sterility.
