Reason for recall

The firm is initiating a voluntary removal of certain spinal cord stimulation leads, lead extensions, adapters, and deep brain stimulation lead extensions due to the "use by date" displayed on the label which is later than the correct "use by date". No adverse health consequence is expected to occur from this issue.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
