DIXI Medical Microdeep Depth Electrode Sterile Barrier Compromise Recall
DIXI MEDICAL USA is recalling Microdeep Depth Electrodes used in neurological monitoring and stimulation due to potential deformation of the internal sterile packaging. The compromised sterile barrier could allow contamination before use.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II surgical device where potential sterile barrier compromise creates contamination risk, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the rubric, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
DIXI MEDICAL USA is recalling the Microdeep Depth Electrode, a neurosurgical device used for recording, monitoring, and electrical stimulation of brain signals at subsurface levels. All lots with UDI 03664539000039 are included in the recall, affecting 1,894 units distributed nationwide.
The recall was initiated due to potential deformation of the internal blister pack packaging. This deformation could compromise the sterile barrier of the device when removed from its outer protective Tyvek bag, potentially allowing contamination before use.
Healthcare facilities that have received Microdeep Depth Electrodes should stop use and contact DIXI MEDICAL USA for instructions regarding affected inventory. The FDA classified this as a Class II recall.
