  • Cause
    Medtronic has become aware that the vclas 15mm tip cap, also referred to as tuohy borst adapter (tba), may not be capable of creating a seal around the optical fiber to ensure adequate saline flow through the cooling system. when the tba is unable to seal around the optical fiber, low retention force to the optical fiber may occur, causing saline to leak out of the tba.
