Reported risk: Medtronic is issuing this notification following reports that the Signia Power Handle may shut down unexpectedly during use. The Signia Power Handle Battery Management System may incorrectly report the battery relative state of charge, which can result in a display showing more battery life than is available. In some cases, the power handle may have insufficient energy to complete the intended operation. Use of the affected product may result in the need to use the manual retraction tool to remove the device from tissue.
