Product: Medtronic Intrathecal Catheter, model 8731SC. Contents: 38.1-cm spinal segment with length markings and guide wire, 66-cm pump segment, 15 T-gauge introducer needle, Transparent Strain-relief sleeves, Opaque Strain-relief sleeves, and V-wing anchors. Contents of inner package are STERILE. The implantable Medtronic Model 8731SC Intrathecal Catheter is part of an infusion system that stores and delivers parenteral drugs to the intrathecal space. The implanted infusion system components consist of a Medtronic pump and a Model 8731SC catheter. The catheter connects to the pump at the catheter port.. Reason: 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..
