Inspire Medical Systems stimulation lead recalled for incorrect expiration dating
Inspire stimulation lead recalled for incorrect expiration date
Inspire Medical Systems' Model 4063 stimulation leads are labeled with expiration dates that extend beyond their actual three-year shelf life. If a lead is used after its true expiration date, the material may degrade and could require unplanned revision surgery. A small number of units (10 total) have been affected worldwide.
- If you have received an Inspire stimulation lead, contact your healthcare provider or Inspire Medical Systems to verify the correct expiration date for your specific unit.
- Do not use any lead whose actual shelf life (three years from manufacture date) has passed, regardless of the label date.
- Your implanting physician should verify all lot and serial numbers before implantation.
Products are labeled with incorrect Use By Date, extending beyond the validated three-year shelf life from date of manufacturer. Material degradation of a product past its Use By Date may result in unplanned or premature revision surgery.
