Medtronic InterStim Ground Pad Recalled for Incorrect Expiration Date Label

Medtronic is recalling InterStim Self-Adhesive Ground Pad (lot 60347246) due to incorrect expiration date labeling. Affected units were distributed internationally including to Iran.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling defect—an incorrect expiration date on product packaging. No injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations have been reported. The hazard is primarily a documentation/labeling issue rather than a use-safety defect, placing it in the minor-labeling-error category per the rubric.
