Globus Medical is recalling several models of sterile-packed Cranial Drills used with the ExcelsiusGPS system because the packaging may be breached, potentially compromising the sterility of the instruments. Additionally, some drill tips may show signs of discoloration. This recall affects various 2.40mm, 3.20mm, and 6.00mm drills distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Czech Republic, and Poland.
A breach in sterile packaging can expose surgical instruments to bacteria and other contaminants, which may lead to serious infections during cranial procedures. Discoloration on the drill tip may also indicate material issues that could affect the performance or safety of the device during surgery.
Quarantine and return product to manufacturer.
