Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 Medtronic has identified that a subset of 2490C CareLink Monitors recently received an incorrect software update. Patients reported that their monitor was making a "ticking sound" and they were unable to transmit device data via CareLink. These monitors are now non-functional. No patient injuries have been reported as a result of this issue.
FDA Determined
