Medtronic has recalled approximately 2,988 Mo.Ma Ultra Proximal Cerebral Protection Devices because the manifold was manufactured with identical 'superior' labels on both sides. This labeling error causes the proximal and distal balloon inflation and deflation ports to be incorrectly identified when viewed from the inferior side. Healthcare providers using these devices in surgical procedures may inadvertently inflate or deflate the wrong balloon, which could lead to procedural complications or patient injury.
Incorrect identification of the arterial balloon ports can lead to improper inflation or deflation of the common carotid artery (CCA) and external carotid artery (ECA) balloons. This can result in failure to maintain necessary cerebral protection or unintended arterial occlusion during sensitive vascular procedures.
