Medtronic EverFlex Peripheral Stents Recalled for Partial Deployment Risk
Medtronic is recalling EverFlex peripheral stents worldwide due to risk of partial deployment. Updated instructions provide a manual deployment workaround to mitigate potential harms.
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: Class II FDA medical device recall for risk-of-harm product. Partial stent deployment represents potential for serious injury in critical vascular applications. No adverse events reported in source material. Meets rubric criterion: 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
The EverFlex Self-Expanding Peripheral Stent with Entrust Delivery System, manufactured by Medtronic Inc., is subject to a worldwide Class II recall affecting multiple model numbers and configurations of the device.
The recall addresses potential harms related to partial stent deployment, where the stent may not fully expand during the placement procedure. Proper device function depends on complete deployment in the vascular system.
