What the authority reported
MED-EL has recently identified a small number of devices, which may have a higher probability of a crack within the internal electronics substrate which could result in a non-functional device. MED-EL wants to avoid the implantation of any defective device and voluntarily request their immediate return from clinics and distributors. Recall start date: April 19, 2024
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
