FDA (Devices) recall action 93258
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 3 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 3 pages.
The Mo.Ma Ultra device manifold is labelled with 2 stickers, an inferior and superior sticker, one on each side of the manifold. These stickers label the common carotid artery (CCA) proximal balloon and external carotid artery (ECA) distal balloon inflation and deflation ports. Both sides of the complaint units manifold were labelled with the superior label leading to an incorrect identification of the proximal and distal inflation /deflation ports when viewing the devices from the inferior side.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Medtronic is recalling 2,767 units of the Mo.Ma Ultra Proximal Cerebral Protection Device due to labeling errors on the manifold that result in incorrect identification of inflation and deflation ports.
Medtronic is recalling 173 units of the Mo.Ma Ultra Proximal Cerebral Protection Device due to incorrect labeling that prevents proper identification of inflation and deflation ports on the device manifold.
Medtronic has recalled the Mo.Ma Ultra Proximal Cerebral Protection Device due to mislabeled manifold stickers. Both sides of affected units were labeled identically, potentially causing confusion about which ports control the proximal versus distal balloons.
