HeartWare HVAD Driveline Extension Cable, REF 100US

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

Medtronic is stopping the distribution and sale of the HVAD System due to a growing body of observational clinical comparisons that shows a higher frequency of neurological adverse events and mortality associated with the system when compared to other commercially available left ventricular assist devices, as well as complaints that the internal pump may delay or fail to restart.
