Globus Medical, Inc. is recalling 570 units of the ExcelsiusGPS Cannula A (Model No. 6143.2844) because of a defect where an internal gap may prevent the device from being properly cleaned. This manufacturing issue makes it difficult to effectively remove debris or contaminants prior to steam sterilization. These surgical instruments are used with ball tip probes and were distributed worldwide, including across the United States. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer regarding these devices.
The internal gap in the device can trap organic material, making it difficult to clean and sanitize. This poses a significant risk of infection, cross-contamination between patients, local or systemic toxicity, and inflammation during medical procedures.
