Medtronic NIM Vital Nerve Monitoring System Software Version Recall
Medtronic is recalling NIM Vital Nerve Monitoring Systems with software versions v1.6.4 or earlier due to potential increased stimulus artifact that may require troubleshooting and could lead to procedure delay, extubation, and medical intervention.
What this means for you
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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a medical device with potential for patient harm (procedure delay, extubation, need for medical intervention). The source text does not explicitly state that illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is characterized as a "potential" technical issue. Under the rubric, high-risk medical devices where risk of harm exists but injury has not yet been reported score 3.
