Medtronic Restore Clinician Programmer App recalled for software reset message issue
Update Medtronic Restore Programmer App immediately
A software problem in the Medtronic Restore Clinician Programmer App (versions before v.1.0.4489) can cause a Device Reset message that cannot be cleared. In rare cases, this prevents the pain management device from resuming therapy, causing patients to experience pain symptoms again. The implanted devices themselves are not affected—only the programmer application used by clinicians.
- Contact your Medtronic clinician or healthcare provider if you use a Restore pain management device
- Update the Clinician Programmer App to version v.1.0.4489 or later
- Do not attempt to reset your device yourself if you see this message
Software issue where a Device Reset message displayed on the app was unable to be cleared. In rare cases, this resulted in an inability to resume therapy, and the patient experienced a recurrence of underlying pain symptoms. Resolution would require surgical replacement of the INS.
