Reason

Due to customer complaint regarding incorrect display box labeling.

Action

On 04/15/2026, the firm sent via mail/email an "Urgent Medical Device Recall" Letter to customers informing them that due to a manufacturing process packaging error, correctly manufactured and labeled individual units of the Covidien Shiley" cuffed fenestrated adult tracheostomy tube with reusable inner cannula were inadvertently placed into incorrect display boxes. A customer report indicating that the product display box is incorrectly labeled as item code 6CFN, which corresponds to cuffless devices. The correct item code is 6FEN, and it appears correctly on all other labeling, including the outer carton labels and device tray label. Customers are instructed to: 1. Quarantine all unused product from the affected lot of Covidien Shiley" cuffed fenestrated adult tracheostomy tube with reusable inner cannula. 2. Return all unused product from the affected lot in their inventory to Medtronic, as described in the Customer Confirmation Form. 3.
