Action Taken
On January 24, 08, Oscor sent out a letter to doctors/ customers with the subject line of "Re: Market Withdrawal of Permanent Pacing Leads due to the lead connector insertion difficulty," stating they experienced some difficulties with the insertion of pacing lead connectors into the pacemaker headers. They asked that customers review the inventory list and remove all products, whose serial numbers match the serial numbers on the list and have not been implanted. Also, customers should call Oscor customer service for a Return Goods Product number and return the product back to the firm for replacement.
