Navinetics Inc has recalled 20 units of the NaviNetics Skull Anchor Key and Drill Kit, specifically model REF NN1215. The recall was initiated because the skull anchor key is defective, preventing medical staff from attaching the CT Localizer needed for stereotactic imaging. This problem occurs after the single-use anchor has already been attached to the patient, as the thumbscrews on the localizer cannot be screwed into the holes on the anchor key. Consumers and medical facilities should contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider regarding this defect.
The inability to attach the CT localizer means that necessary brain imaging cannot be performed during a medical procedure. This failure occurs while the device is already attached to a patient, which could lead to surgical delays or the need for additional procedures to rectify the equipment failure.
