HeartWare Model 1100

Published December 28, 2022 · Recall initiated: November 29, 2022

Status when published: Ongoing — openFDA updates weekly, so this field may not reflect the current status. Always confirm with the official notice.

What's the hazard

Over time, the driveline cover may become hardened, creating difficulty or an inability to slide the cover back to access the driveline to controller connector. Access to the driveline connector may be delayed, which may result in patient harm from a prolonged pump stop, if an urgent driveline connection or controller issue needs to be addressed. In the event a hardened driveline cover is observed, contact your Medtronic field representative for further assessment and/or servicing.
