Reason for recall

Medtronic is recalling 148 Affinity Pediatric Arterial Filters from 2 manufacturing lots because a limited quantity of filters may have a small breach in the filter media that may allow unwanted particulate or gaseous emboli to pass through the filter and the outlet of the device, which could result in serious injury to a pediatric patient including neurological damage, or potential patient death.
