Where it was sold
Why it was recalled
Stop using this product now
The Sutureless Connector (SC) Intrathecal Catheter connector has been redesigned to reduce the potential for occlusion at the catheter to pump interface. Medtronic is removing the unused products from the market that were manufactured with the previous design, and recommend the previous design no longer be used due to greater potential for misalignment and subsequent occlusion.
Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
