China NMPA Product Recall - Single-use intracardiac diagnostic electrode catheters

The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) announced on February 25, 2025, a voluntary Class III recall initiated by Medtronic, Inc. The recall, reported locally by Medtronic (Shanghai) Management Co., Ltd., concerns single-use cardiac diagnostic electrode catheters registered under National Medical Device Registration Certificate 20163070401. The primary issue identified leading to this recall is the incorrect model and batch number information printed on the outer packaging labels of the affected products. This labeling discrepancy necessitates corrective action to ensure accurate product identification. Operating under the NMPA's medical device recall framework, Medtronic voluntarily initiated this action to address the identified non-conformity. A significant detail noted is that none of the products subject to this specific recall event were imported into the Chinese market, limiting potential direct impact within China. The required action by Medtronic involves a comprehensive recall of the identified catheters, with further specifics regarding models, specifications, and batch numbers detailed in the accompanying "Medical Device Recall Event Report Form". This proactive measure underscores the manufacturer's commitment to compliance and product integrity, ensuring that all labeling accurately reflects the contents for healthcare professionals and end-users.
