Medtronic identified several heart valves (Mosaic Porcine Bioprosthesis with Cinch & Hancock II Bioprosthesis with Cinch) that were inadvertently distributed after exposure to temperatures exceeding the 77 F (25 C) maximum storage temperature published on the labeling. The product is being retrieved as they do not meet the handling requirements.
A Medtronic "Urgent Medical Device Recall Notice" dated January 26, 2009, was sent to Risk Managers of each affected account and to each Implanting Physician. The letter described the problem, product and informed consignees that they will be retrieving the non-implanted vales. If additional information is needed, customers are to contact their local Medtronic sales representative or technical services at 1-877-526-7890.
