Medtronic is recalling 14 units of the DBS Lead with StimLoc kit (Model 3387S-40), an electrical implantable device. The recall is due to a labeling error where the 'Use By Date' printed on the outer package does not match the date printed on the individual product label inside. This discrepancy could lead to the use of a device that has exceeded its shelf life, which may compromise the sterility or performance of the implant. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic to determine if their specific device is affected.
A discrepancy in expiration dates may result in the use of an expired medical device, which can lead to complications such as infection due to compromised sterility or device failure.
