Plain-English summary

Medtronic Inc. is recalling 173 units of the Mo.Ma Ultra Proximal Cerebral Protection Device, Model Number MOM0130069X6. The affected devices were distributed worldwide to the United States and the following countries: Algeria, Armenia, France, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The device manifold is designed with two stickers to identify the inflation and deflation ports: a superior sticker labeling the common carotid artery (CCA) proximal balloon ports and an inferior sticker labeling the external carotid artery (ECA) distal balloon ports. The recalled units have both sides of the manifold labeled with the superior sticker instead of having one of each. This labeling error prevents correct identification of the proximal and distal inflation and deflation ports when viewing the device from the inferior side, which could lead to improper device operation.
