# Major Recall Alert: Issues Identified with Vanta/Sequentia Lt Clinician Programmer Application
Attention healthcare professionals and users of the Vanta A71200 CP app! A critical recall has been issued involving the Vanta/Sequentia Lt Clinician Programmer Application versions V2.0.2465 and V2.0.2683. This recall addresses a potentially disruptive "system error" affecting users who are interrogating new implantable neurostimulators (INS). If unaddressed, this error could impede the functionality of the INS.
Learn more about this recall, why it’s significant, and what steps you can take to ensure proper usage of the affected application.
## Why This Recall is Important
Medtronic’s Vanta/Sequentia Lt Clinician Programmer Application plays a vital role in the setup and management of implantable neurostimulators (INS). These devices are essential in treating and managing conditions like chronic pain and movement disorders. Any disruption caused during the programming and interrogation process could delay patient care and require additional troubleshooting for medical professionals, potentially leading to longer treatment times and patient dissatisfaction.
This recall is particularly notable because it highlights a specific malfunction during the setup process of a new INS. If the “Start Usage” button in the Vanta A71200 CP app is inadvertently selected twice, a “system error” will display. This requires users to restart the app entirely and contact Medtronic support.
Additionally, upon reattempting the interrogation, a “validation error” may block the progression of INS setup. Unless the error is resolved, the interrogation process cannot proceed. This makes understanding the recall imperative to preventing unnecessary device downtime.
