Medtronic Navigation, Inc. has recalled 8,459 sterile percutaneous pins used in surgical procedures because a manufacturing defect may have resulted in cross-pins that do not fit properly. Affected products include the 100mm Pin (REF 9733235) and the 150mm Pin (REF 9733236). This defect can cause the pin to be unable to fit into the tap cap or become too tight to remove during a procedure. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic to determine if their device is part of this voluntary recall initiated in November 2023.
If a pin is too tight to remove or fails to fit correctly during surgery, it could lead to surgical delays, increased procedure time, or the need for additional medical intervention to resolve the mechanical fit issue.
