Medtronic Neuromodulation is recalling 39 units of the Percept RC Implantable Neurostimulator (INS), Model B35300. This recall was initiated because these specific devices are unable to communicate with the A610 DBS Clinician Programmer Application during use. When doctors or clinicians attempt to program the device, they will receive an "Invalid Device" error message. Consumers with these implanted devices should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic for further instructions regarding the device's functionality and potential next steps.
The device failure prevents medical professionals from communicating with or adjusting the neurostimulator's settings, which can lead to an inability to manage the patient's symptoms effectively. No injuries have been reported to date, but the communication error renders the device's specialized programming features inaccessible.
