20251 record
  • Class IIOngoing2025-01-03
    Their is a potential that implanted pulse generators may stop delivering therapy due to an internal component issue.
20241 record
  • Class IIOngoing2024-12-12
    Vagus nerve stimulator generators may stop delivering stimulation due to an internal, mechanically activated component that may become stuck in a closed position, which may result in patients returning to baseline seizure frequency or depressive symptoms and in the longer term, p…
20211 record
  • Class IITerminated2021-12-02
    A manufacturing issue may cause the silicone tubing wall thickness of vagus nerve stimulation leads to be less than the design specification. If the tubing becomes completely breached, the patient may experience discomfort or pain due to delivery of stimulation to an unintended l…

  • Class IITerminated2020-11-12
    During internal testing, it was found that upon a device reset, the Generator exhibits the incorrect Model Number when interrogated.
  • Class IITerminated2020-09-28
    Due to an extra digit being inadvertently added to the serial number of a subset of implantable pulse generators, they become not compatible with therapy programmers with software version 11.0.4.
  • Class IITerminated2020-04-24
    The firm has identified through internal tests that the sterile barrier of certain Sterile Standalone Connectors may present a breach. The issue potentially affects component assembled with a specific packaging and is associated to a specific production period.
  • Class IITerminated2020-02-24
    The firm is providing validated cleaning and disinfection instructions in their revised operating instructions to reduce the risk of NTM contamination.
  • Class IIOngoing2020-02-04
    False positive warning may occur after: 1) VNS Generator interrogated at 0mA normal output current, 2) Generator programmed to non-0mA output current, 3) In-session re-interrogation performed. Users instructed to lower output current and widen pulse width. Only system diagnostic …

  • Class IIITerminated2019-11-18
    Some packages of sterile disposable connectors contained a 3/8x1/4 reducer instead of the specified 1/2x1/2 connector. No significant risk to health is expected as the issue is easily detectable and the different shape would prevent use of the connector.
  • Class ITerminated2019-08-22
    Sentiva generators may reset and become disabled within 60 days of enabling. Physicians can re-enable but devices will continue to be susceptible to resets. If a device experiences this issue, this may lead to additional surgery (premature replacement of generator), or patients m…
  • Class IITerminated2019-08-13
    Firm identified a subset of its generators that were sterilized one additional sterilization cycle, which does not meet the firm's quality specifications.
  • Class IIITerminated2019-07-03
    Perfusion tubing pack was packaged with the incorrect cuvette.
  • Class IIITerminated2019-01-28
    Incorrect labeling; it was identified that some Datapad devices contained incorrect labels. Specifically the manufacturing date in the production identifier was incorrect and the manufacturing date on the unique device identifier label was labeled in the format of yy-mm-dd inst…

  • Class IIOngoing2018-11-16
    This recall is being initiated due to reports that that the therapy programming tablet with software version 1.5 errantly performs a normal mode diagnostic test instead of the selected system diagnostic test on Model 102 and Model 102R devices, if the output current is greater …
  • Class IIOngoing2018-11-16
    Lead impedance values reported by the affected VNS generator will be higher compared to those reported by previous models. This is due to a change in the timing of when affected VNS generator takes the lead impedance measurement during diagnostic testing. As a result, normal impe…
  • Class IITerminated2018-11-16
    This recall is an expansion of Z-3019-2017 and Z-3020-2017, which was initiated to fix the devices premature battery depletion, caused by electrical leakage on the circuit board assemblies of the Models 105 and 106 generators. *Note this recall occurred in November 2018.
  • Class IITerminated2018-11-09
    4-way stopcocks and stopcock manifold assembled in certain perfusion tubing systems, indicated for use in surgical procedures requiring extracorporeal support for periods of up to six hours, may leak or be occluded.
  • Class IITerminated2018-11-01
    The firm has become aware that due to a chemical reaction, the disinfectant/water preservative used to disinfect the device to inhibit/limit the growth micro-organisms, may be rendered ineffective. In addition, the firm is releasing a design upgrade to reduce the risk of potentia…
  • Class IITerminated2018-09-14
    For six units, the post-deep cleaning (DC) water sample tested positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
  • Class IITerminated2018-04-20
    Firm is notifying customers that the Deep-Cleaning Service is now available in the United States. Stockert Heater-Cooler System 3T devices are suspected of microbial contamination and may contain visible biofilm.
  • Class IITerminated2018-03-13
    Some integrated sterile INSPIRE family products contain an incorrect expiration date printed in the Unique Device Identification (UDI) bar code and readable code just beneath the barcode. Specifically, the expiration date is reported as DDMMYY instead of YYMMDD. The expiration da…
  • Class IITerminated2018-01-24
    Unintended warning message displayed on generators programmed with a Model 3000 v.1.0.2.2 programmer.
