The hazard

Medtronic has been unable to develop a cleaning protocol to satisfy current industry concerns and expectations. As a result, an updated cleaning protocol will not be developed by Medtronic and it has been determined that the best course of action is to request BIO CAL users to discontinue use and dispose of BIO CAL devices.
