Covidien Healthcare International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. reported that Medtronic discovered potential errors in the expiration dates on product labels for two batches. These batches may have incorrect expiration dates printed on the packaging bags and/or carton labels, which differ from the actual expiration date (three years from the production date). As of October 31, 2025, Medtronic received a total of five complaints regarding incorrect expiration dates on the labels. Since the incorrect expiration dates are earlier than the actual ones and the affected product batches are still within the three-year validity period following production in October 2024, this issue does not pose a risk to patient safety. The manufacturer, Micro Therapeutics, Inc. DBA ev3 Neurovascular, voluntarily recalled specific model batches of the disposable extracorporeal suction tubing Riptide™ Large Bore Aspiration Tubing (China Medical Device Registration No. 20232140005). The recall level is classified as a Level Three Recall. Detailed information regarding the models, specifications, and batches of the affected products can be found in the "Medical Device Recall Event Report."
