TriMed Inc. is recalling 262 units of its Threaded IM Nails (3.6mm diameter) because the driver-socket on the device was manufactured out of specification. This defect can prevent surgeons from being able to pick up the nails or apply enough force (torque) during surgical procedures. The recall involves specific 60mm and 65mm non-sterile nails sold throughout the United States. Healthcare providers should stop using these specific lots immediately and contact TriMed Inc. to coordinate the return of affected inventory.
An out-of-specification driver-socket can lead to the inability to properly grip or tighten the nail during surgery. This could result in surgical delays, improper fixation of the implant, or the need for a replacement device during the procedure.
Manufacturer initiated recall via email notification.
