Safety Report: Megadyne Electrodes - Alert to Use for ages 12+ only, USA

3 months ago source fda.gov

Recall notice

United States

Megadyne issued a Class 1 Medical Device Correction to hospitals to limit the use of MEGA SOFT Universal and Universal Plus Reusable Patient Return Electrodes to patients aged 12 years or older after receiving reports of adult and pediatric patient burns following surgical procedures in which MEGA SOFT pads were used. These reports of patient burn injuries described up to and including third-degree burns requiring intervention which may lead to prolonged hospital stay, scarring, and additional surgeries in both pediatric and adult patients. Severe burns could lead to potentially long-lasting impacts on patients especially under the age of 12 years.

Since that notification, we have continued to monitor device performance through post market surveillance, investigated every event reported and evaluated potential root cause of these events. Megadyne recently received a report of pediatric use that included a serious 3rd degree patient burn. We are providing this additional broad public communication to increase awareness that MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Universal and Universal Plus products should not be used for patients under the age of 12 years.

The list below contains the specific product and codes in scope.
- Product Name: MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Universal Patient Return Electrode, Product Code: 0845, UDI-DI: 10614559103906.
- Product Name: MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Universal Dual Patient Return Electrode, Product Code: 0846, UDI-DI: 10614559104248.
- Product Name: MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Universal Plus Patient Return Electrode, Product Code: 0847, UDI-DI: 10614559104842.
- Product Name: MEGADYNE™ MEGA SOFT™ Universal Plus Dual Patient Return Electrode, Product Code: 0848, UDI-DI: 10614559104859.

Customers should review and follow the instructions provided in the December 2023 recall notification (link given below). Mega Soft Universal and Universal Plus Reusable Patient Return Electrodes pads may continue to be used for patients over 12 years of age.

Confirm that personnel using the Mega Soft Universal and Universal Plus pads understand the intended use is changing to patients aged 12 years and older and have stopped using the pads on patients under the age of 12 years. Hospitals using this product should confirm receipt of the recall notification using the business reply form provided with the initial recall notification.

In case you experience harm from this product, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
