Advanced Research Medical is recalling 1,150 units of the Lumbar Interbody Fusion System (OLLIF) Flexible Curette Loop Blade (Part # 01-06-4) used for treating degenerative disc disease. This recall was initiated because the disposable blade may shear or break off during surgery, potentially leaving metal fragments inside the patient's body within the shaft assembly. These devices were distributed across Minnesota between March 2023 and May 2024. Patients should contact their healthcare provider if they have concerns about a procedure involving this equipment.
The disposable loop blade can potentially break or shear off during a surgical procedure. If this occurs, the broken blade components could be left inside the patient's spine or within the surgical tool's shaft, requiring additional surgical intervention to remove the debris and posing a risk of internal injury.
