Frequently asked questions

What types of medical devices does Medtronic Vascular, Inc. primarily manufacture?

Medtronic Vascular, Inc. specializes in non-bioabsorbable soft-tissue mesh anchors designed for endoscopic or minimally invasive surgical fixation. Their portfolio includes systems like the Heli-FX EndoAnchor System and its thoracic-specific variants, as well as ancillary components such as cassettes. Additionally, they produce procedural tools like the Sentrant Introducer Sheath with a hydrophilic coating, which reduces friction during insertion.

Where is Medtronic Vascular, Inc. based, and how does that affect its regulatory oversight?

Medtronic Vascular, Inc. is headquartered in the United States, which means its devices fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA classifies these devices as either Class II or Class III, depending on their risk level and intended use, requiring pre-market authorisation through pathways like 510(k) clearances, Premarket Approvals (PMAs), or Unique Device Identification (UDI) registrations.

Which regulatory registries list Medtronic Vascular, Inc.’s devices, and why?

Medtronic Vascular, Inc.’s devices are listed in the FDA’s 510(k), PMA, and UDI registries. The 510(k) pathway applies to Class II devices deemed substantially equivalent to existing approved products, while Class III devices—often higher-risk—require a Premarket Approval (PMA) to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. The UDI registry ensures traceability and transparency in the supply chain, tracking devices throughout their lifecycle for compliance and recall purposes.

How are Medtronic Vascular, Inc.’s devices classified by the FDA, and what does that mean for their use?

The FDA classifies Medtronic Vascular, Inc.’s devices as either Class II or Class III. Class II devices, like some mesh anchors, typically require performance standards and 510(k) clearance to prove they’re as safe and effective as comparable legacy products. Class III devices, such as certain high-risk fixation systems, require a Premarket Approval (PMA) to demonstrate safety and efficacy through rigorous clinical trials, as they lack a predicate device or pose greater risks.

FDA Recalls (100)

Recalls reported by this firm to the FDA. Listed at company level — FDA recall records don't identify a specific catalogue device.

Medtronic Vascular, Inc. has 234 recall records spanning from June 8, 2004, to March 23, 2022, with statuses recorded as open, classified, or terminated. The reasons cited include mechanical failures such as detachment of spindle components, radiopaque marker bonds, or taper tips during stent graft deployment; labeling errors such as incorrect usable lengths, master labels, and stentstop assemblies; sterility concerns due to compromised package integrity; and manufacturing defects like retained manufacturing materials in embolization systems. Some records reference procedural complications, such as difficulty flushing delivery systems or potential endoleaks and stent fractures.

AI-generated summary of the recall records listed below. It describes what the records state and is not an assessment of this manufacturer.

Stent Graft Systems built with specific batches of taper tip assemblies have the potential for the taper tip to detach from the delivery system. Detachment of the taper tip during the implant procedure may lead to a secondary intervention to attempt to remove the taper tip, either by endovascular retrieval or surgical conversion. There is also potential that the taper tip is intentionally left behind in the patient, at the physician's discretion, if not easily removable.
