| Status | Terminated |
| Reason | Medtronic identified an issue with specific models and lots of the PowerCross .018 Over the Wire (OTW) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Dilatation Catheter. During an unrelated manufacturing inspection of scrapped products, an out of specification condition was observed. The catheter outer shafts were pinched and deformed at the proximal balloon bond. Bench testing of affected devices showed that this resulted in either the inability to inflate the device, a slow deflation, or the inability to deflate the device post expansion. |

The PowerCross .018 OTW PTA Dilatation Catheter is intended to dilate stenoses in the iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infrapopliteal, and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
