Recalls
-
- Terminated Z-0781-2017
Nuvectra is conducting a recall due to two clinical risks that are associated with certain percutaneous leads currently being used in the Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation System. It has been reported that in some percutaneous leads, the stylet protruded beyond the distal lead tip.

- Terminated Z-1600-2016
If used, the optional Swap feature copies programming parameters from the external pulse generator (EPG) as well as unintended calibration data to the implantable pulse generator (lPG). This may result in the user being unable to recharge the lPG. This safety notice only applies to CPs Model 4500.

The implantable pulse generator (IPG) model 2408 had suboptimal performance establishing a connection to the external devices unless they were brought into close proximity (as close as 5 cm). The following functions may not be available: Reprogramming the stimulator, Adjusting stimulation parameters (on/off, intensity modifications, stimulation program selection), and Recharging the stimulator.
