Plain-English summary

Medtronic Inc. is recalling 2,767 units of the Mo.Ma Ultra Proximal Cerebral Protection Device (Model Number MUS0130069X6) due to a labeling error on the device manifold affecting port identification.

The device manifold is designed to be labeled with two stickers—one on the superior side and one on the inferior side—to identify the common carotid artery (CCA) proximal balloon and external carotid artery (ECA) distal balloon inflation and deflation ports. In the recalled units, both sides of the manifold were incorrectly labeled with the superior sticker. This results in incorrect identification of the proximal and distal ports when viewed from the inferior side.

The affected devices were distributed worldwide, including the United States and Algeria, Armenia, France, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Healthcare facilities and patients with these devices should contact Medtronic Inc. for guidance on this recall.
