Medicrea International: Intervertebral Fusion Devices Recalled for Potential Sterile Packaging Defect

Agency Publication Date: August 24, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Medicrea International is recalling 6,470 spinal fusion implants, including various IMPIX and PASS LP models, because the sterile packaging may have tiny pinhole leaks. These implants are used in cervical and lumbar spinal surgeries to help bones fuse together. The defect was found in either the inner or outer pouches, which could compromise the sterility of the device before it is used in surgery. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer to determine if their specific implant is affected by this recall.

Risk

A pinhole in the packaging can allow bacteria and other contaminants to enter the sterile pouch, potentially causing serious infections or surgical site complications for patients receiving the implant.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have been treated with any of the following spinal fusion devices: IMPIX 3D, IMPIX ALIF, IMPIX ALIF S/A, IMPIX DLIF, IMPIX MANTA, IMPIX TLIF, PASS LP, GRANVIA-C, IMPIX C+, IMPIX S, or IMPIX MANTA+.
  2. Check your medical records or contact your surgeon's office to verify the specific Reference (REF) and Lot numbers of the device used in your procedure.
  3. For IMPIX 3D (Recall Z-2452-2023), check for Reference numbers like B242C09122810 (Lot 20B0926) or B247C07062410 (Lot 18D0965) among many others listed in the official recall data.
  4. For IMPIX MANTA (Recall Z-2456-2023), specifically check for Reference numbers such as A20150407 (Lot 18F0803) or B20181743 (Lot 19D0208).
  5. If you are a healthcare provider, immediately stop using any affected products in your inventory and quarantine them to prevent surgical use.
  6. Contact your healthcare provider if you have concerns about a past surgery or are experiencing unusual symptoms at the site of a spinal implant.
  7. Contact Medicrea International or your local distributor, Vancia, for instructions on returning unused affected products.
  8. For additional information, contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332 or visit www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls.
