Action Medtronic sent an Urgent Field Safety Notification letter dated August 7, 2018 to the patient, distributor, and healthcare provider via email, U.S. mail, or phone. The letter identified the affected product, problem and actions to be taken. Starting on 10/05/2021, recall notices were sent to patients, health care professionals, distributors, and personnel at clinical sites. Distributors were asked to provide their customer lists to the recalling firm so the recalling firm could send customers recall notices. The scope of the recall is being expanded to all users regardless of warranty status. Users are asked to stop using and disconnect the remote controller, disable the remote feature, and return the remote controller to the recalling firm. Customers were also asked to provide the information requested in the confirmation form to the recalling firm via phone, mail, email, or online on the firm's website.
