AD-TECH Spencer Probe Depth Electrodes recalled for MRI safety labeling error
Ad-Tech Medical Instrument Corporation is recalling 14 units of its AD-TECH Spencer Probe Depth Electrodes due to an incorrect MRI safety label. The devices were labeled as MRI Conditional when they are actually MRI Unsafe, creating a risk of misuse.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II labeling error on medical electrodes designed for neurological use. While no injuries have been reported, the incorrect MRI safety label creates a risk of serious harm if devices are misused in MRI environments.
Plain-English summary
Ad-Tech Medical Instrument Corporation is recalling 14 units of the AD-TECH Spencer Probe Depth Electrode, model SD08R-AP58X-000 (8-Contact 1.12mm A style). The affected lot numbers are 168788, 855856857, 172999, 873874875R, 174915, and 879880881.
The A-style depth electrodes were labeled with an MRI Conditional symbol, but these devices are not cleared for MRI Conditional use and are actually MRI Unsafe. This labeling discrepancy creates a risk that the electrodes could be incorrectly used in MRI environments, potentially resulting in device malfunction or patient harm.
The affected units were distributed in California and Ohio. Facilities that received these electrodes should verify they are not used in MRI-compatible applications. Contact Ad-Tech Medical Instrument Corporation for instructions on safe handling, replacement, or return of affected devices.
