Medical equipment can often be a significant part of life for many with disabilities. Now the FDA is maintaining a database of recalled medical equipment, which is both useful and easy to use. Database visitors can search by the name/type of device or review a list of recently recalled devices. The system also gives users the option to report equipment problems online.
If you have questions or concerns about your equipment, visit the FDA’s Medical Equipment recall database.
I hope you can help me. I had a St Jude Medical implant. The name of the implant is Eon Mini Implantable Pulse Generator ( IPG ), Model 3788, Serial No. 13710682, Lot No. 343532. Dr. Burger at The Spine and Pain Center in Quakertown, Pa. told me that there was a recall on tis product. Will you help me? If you can help me please let me know the date of the recall. I really need to know.
Ms. Moyer, I would recommend you directly contact both your doctor and the company that makes the device. They should be able to provide you with the specific recall information on this. I just did an online search for the implant with the word “recall” included and found the following website with more information – http://www.sjmneuropro.com/Resources/Communications/Important-Product-Information-Eon-Mini-December-2011.aspx. Please speak with your physician directly about what steps need to be taken next.
