Issue

Medtronic is recalling specific lots of the sterile percutaneous pin due to the potential that the pin may be unable to fit into the patient reference frame or percutaneous pin adapter when attempting to attach the components that are used in image guided surgeries.

If this issue occurs, the user will be unable to connect the frame or adapter onto the percutaneous pin. This could result in surgical delay, additional surgical intervention for removal and replacement of percutaneous pin, modification of the surgical approach using an alternative device (spinous process clamp) or abandonment of the use of navigation or the procedure.

Recall start date: December 4, 2024
