DBS Lead Device Recall: Use By Date Label Discrepancy

Medtronic is recalling a small number of LEAD 3387S-40 deep brain stimulation devices due to discrepancies in the Use By Date printed on the outer package versus the individual product label.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling discrepancy rather than reported safety incidents. No illnesses, injuries, or device failures have been reported. The issue represents a minor labeling error affecting a small number of units.

Plain-English summary

Medtronic Neuromodulation is recalling a small number of units of the LEAD 3387S-40 STIMLOC DBS device, an electrical implantable device.

The recall is due to a discrepancy in the Use By Date (UBD) printed on the outer packaged kit label versus the UBD printed on the individual product label. This discrepancy may create confusion about the correct shelf life for the device.

The affected devices were distributed in Missouri, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Patients and healthcare providers who have received or are considering these devices should contact Medtronic Neuromodulation to address the discrepancy.
