Riverpoint Medical, LLC is recalling 999 units of Iconix Knotless 1.4mm Anchors with XBraid S (Blue/Black and Black/White models). These medical devices, used for attaching soft tissue to bone in joints like the shoulder and knee, can fail when used in hard bone conditions. Specifically, the tool used to insert the anchor can bend or move, which may damage or break the surgical suture during insertion. No specific injuries were reported in the announcement, but the defect can lead to surgical complications or failed repairs. Consumers and medical professionals should verify if they have the affected product codes and lot numbers.
If the inserter tool bends or moves during a procedure, it can damage the suture material. This damage can cause the suture to break during use, potentially leading to surgical delays or the failure of the tissue-to-bone fixation.
