Medtronic and FDA notified healthcare providers of a voluntary recall of Model 8731 Intrathecal Catheter and Model 8598 Intrathecal Catheter Distal Revision Kit. Medtronic is recalling these products because the platinum-iridium tip may be dislodged by the guide wire during implantation. Dislodgement of the tip can result in the risk of infection or other potentially serious adverse health consequences.
