This voluntary recall is being conducted due to the curved tip introducer needle which is included in the kit, to have a potential manufacturing defect. This could result in difficulty advancing or withdrawing the Vectris lead through the curved tip introducer needle.
Beginning 25 May 2018, Medtronic sent a letter via mail to affected customers. The notification included the customer letter, confirmation form (reply form), and a list of affected product serial numbers. The letter informed customers of the recall, and provided instructions on the identification and return of affected products. The firm expanded the recall, notifying their consignees by letter on 07/13/2018. Customers with device related questions can contact Technical Services at 1-800-707-0933 weekdays 7am-6pm CT.
