The notification instructed consignees to hold off implanting more than one Vanta INS in a patient until software update is available and while not recommended, if implanting a patient with two (2) Vanta INSs, ensure the INSs are implanted on opposite sides of the body as noted in the Information for Prescribers labeling, and ensure each is configured with the CP App before implanting in a patient. Consignees were asked to complete and return the customer confirmation form provided an contact Medtronic Technical Services at 1-800-707-0933 if troubleshooting does not resolve any issues encountered.
