  • Cause
    The manufacturer has identified 14 reports over the last 30 years describing delayed spinal cord compression due to an epidural mass around a medtronic scs lead. all patients had neurological deficits and required surgical intervention to remove the mass. histologically, the epidural masses consisted of reactive tissue (granulomatous and/or fibrous tissue). the reported time to onset of neurological symptoms after lead implant ranged from weeks to 17 years. the severity ranged from muscle weakness to progressive quadriparesis. in several of the cases, only one side of the body was affected. the appearance of neurological symptoms was often preceded by a loss of therapy effect. the reported outcomes in these patients were full recovery (9 reports), permanent impairment (2 reports), and unknown (3 reports). there has not been a report of a patient death associated with this issue.

    “If our surveillance systems identify a potential performance issue, our personnel promptly evaluate the problem, including, when appropriate, conducting root cause investigations and internal testing to assess whether the product continues to meet specifications and defined performance criteria,” Medtronic told ICIJ in a statement. “In some cases, based on this evaluation, Medtronic may determine that a recall is necessary.” The company said that it communicates with healthcare providers and/or patients and provide recommendations to address such issues. Medtronic noted that these communications can include letters, emails, calls, press releases, physician notifications and social media postings, as well as informing the FDA and other regulators of the actions.
