St. Jude Recalls Atrial Retractor Over ‘Small Burrs’
St. Jude Medical is recalling batches of the MitraX Self Retracting atrial retractor, manufactured by Cardio Life Research (CLR) and distributed by St. Jude, over concerns about “small burrs” of polycarbonate at the distal edge of the device. Burrs may dislodge during use and could enter the patient’s circulatory system, the company says. Although St. Jude has received no adverse event reports, it recommends returning any CLR-labeled atrial retractors.
