Medtronic Perfusion Systems is recalling 290 units of its DLP Single Stage Venous Cannulae with right angle metal tips (Model 67312) because some packages contain the wrong product. During manufacturing, the straight-tip version (Model 66118) was incorrectly placed into packages labeled for the right-angle metal-tip model. This error means medical professionals may find a cannula that does not match the expected shape and tip configuration during surgical procedures. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for further instructions regarding this device.
The use of an incorrect cannula tip (straight instead of right-angle metal tip) can lead to delays in surgical procedures or improper placement within the venous system, potentially complicating heart-lung bypass surgery.
