Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy Leads, PerenniaDURA, Model: 303. Model 303-20 PereniaDURA Lead (2.0 mm electrode inner diameter) and Model 303-30 PereniaDURA Lead (3.0 mm electrode inner diameter)
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The hazard
A manufacturing issue may cause the silicone tubing wall thickness of vagus nerve stimulation leads to be less than the design specification. If the tubing becomes completely breached, the patient may experience discomfort or pain due to delivery of stimulation to an unintended location. If the inner lead conductor is exposed to body fluids the lead may break causing loss of therapy.
