Medtronic received information that prior to use of a dlp left heart vent catheter, it was reported that the metal in the product seems different.It is thicker and stiffer than before and does not hold its shape.The device was replaced.There was no patient involvement, so no adverse effect occurred.The customer is asking if the wire was changed or something was changed in the design.There are pictures comparing it to the 15 french and the wire looks way bigger in the 13 french against the old 15 french.Unopened packages will be returned for analysis.
