Oscor Inc. has recalled its TB Temporary Bipolar Pacing Lead (unshrouded 2 mm Pins Models) due to connectivity concerns. During the use of some TB Leads, featuring the 2mm unshrouded connectors, the cap housing may slide and potentially expose the connection wire, a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm621931.htm?utm%5Fcampaign=FDA%20MedWatch%20Recall%20Notice%20-%20TB%20%E2%80%93%20Temporary%20Bipolar%20Pacing%20Lead%20by%20Oscor&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=Eloqua&elqTrackId=b06ea50ed5ea484eb8b59cf6d75b417b&elq=9c20289e25a9495689f7553353da0df8&elqaid=5311&elqat=1&elqCampaignId=4239) says. “In some instances, this may cause the wire to be more susceptible to loss of connectivity or breakage during movement of the cables causing interruption of the pacing system,” it says. An analysis of returned devices attributed the failure to a design change of the cap housing of the pins, the company says, adding that in the last six years, a total of four serious injuries were reported to Oscor which were attributed to this connectivity issue.
