Damage During Manufacturing Leads to Medtronic Recalling its Catheters
MINNEAPOLIS, MN—A change implemented on one manufacturing line at Medtronic has resulted in damaged pouches on IN.PACT Admiral and IN.PACT AV balloon catheters, forcing the company to recall some of the products. Damaged pouches can lessen catheter sterility.
Medtronic says that the problem has since been fixed, and production on the line fully restored. Both products are Paclitaxel-coated percutaneous transluminal angioplasty catheters.
