Recall Z-3058-2017— Medtronic Navigation, Inc.
Class II · Terminated
Class II FDA medical device recall by Medtronic Navigation, Inc., initiated 2017-06-29, terminated 2018-08-03. It names one FDA 510(k) clearance: K153555. Product: Medtronic ENT Prgm 9734636 Add Fusion Nav AxiEM, reusable, Rx. This kit includes 9733908 (which includes 9733452 containing 9733449, Straight Suction, 9733450, 70 deg Curved Suction, and 9733451, 90 deg Curved Suction). The firm name on the label is Medtronic Navigation, Inc., Louisville, CO. The suction devices are part of a family of reusable ENT instruments that are used with the StealthStationTM AxiEM surgical navigation system. The AxiEM system is an electromagnetic (EM) tracking solution for surgical tools. The system measures an induced voltage created by local magnetic fields from a set of coils in the transmit coil array (TCA). Each surgical tool has a set of receiving coils to sense the magnetic field strength. Using a mathematical algorithm, the position and orientation of the instrument can be computed and overlaid/registered to imagery on a computer monitor, resulting in the ability to track the instrument tip in relation to the patients anatomy. AxiEM ENT Suction devices are used as suction and pointing devices. The suction devices are intended to have an ENT Instrument Tracker mounted on it. Reason: The instruments are not able to pass instrument verification which is performed prior to the use of each instrument..
