Action taken
Inspire Medical systems issued an URGENT Medical Device Correction notice to the affected healthcare providers on 05/16/2024 via FedEx overnight. The notice explains the potential problem with the device and risk to the patient and recommends the following actions: We recommend the following actions: " Notify affected patients of this voluntary recall. " Schedule your patient for a monitoring visit to confirm their Inspire therapy is working as intended through waveform and impedance analysis. Monitor patients for reports of variation in stimulation, a lack of therapy effectiveness, or an inability to turn on therapy. " Continue with routine monitoring and conduct waveform and impedance analysis at every routine office visit, as IPG issue may be non-invasively identified with basic waveform and impedance testing. " If abnormal waveforms or impedances are observed, record impedance values at 1.5V, 2.0V, 2.5V, 3.0V and 3.5V. o Let the patient know they will feel 3 short pulses of stimulation. o Some of these stimulation pulses may feel strong. This is normal. " Contact your Inspire representative for additional diagnostic testing and troubleshooting recommendations.
