St. Jude Medical, Inc. Recalls Heart Valve Products with Silzone Coating

Jan 24, 2000 | www.safetyalerts.com

St. Jude Medical, Inc. announced today that on January 21 it had initiated a worldwide voluntary recall involving all products that have Silzone® coating. These products have a silver coating applied to the sewing cuff.

This recall does not affect St. Jude Medical products without the Silzone® coating.

St. Jude Medical has received information which indicates a statistically significant higher rate of paravalvular leak leading to valve explants in patients implanted with St. Jude Medical® mechanical heart valves with Silzone® coated sewing cuffs.

St. Jude Medical is asking suppliers to discontinue the use of Silzone® coated products immediately. In addition suppliers should immediately inspect their inventory for any Silzone® products and quarantine them.
