Stryker Spine is recalling approximately 8,589 units of the AVS Anchor-C Cervical Cage System electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU) due to a labeling error. Specifically, the latest electronic revision (Revision 5) inadvertently removed important information regarding the approved indications for use in the United States and Canada. This recall affects the digital instructions available from January 2023 to the present for this surgical implant system used in cervical disc procedures.
The removal of specific indication language from the instructions could lead to the device being used in surgical procedures or patient populations for which it was not intended or cleared. This lack of proper guidance for surgeons increases the risk of inappropriate surgical application, which may lead to suboptimal patient outcomes or complications during anterior cervical interbody fusion.
