Type of communication:
Medical Device Recall
Subcategory:
Medical Device
Hazard classification:
Type II
Source of recall:
Health Canada
Issue:
Medical Devices
Audience:
General Public, Healthcare Professionals, Hospitals
Identification number:
RA-64110

Affected Products

  1. Lower Extremity Congruent Plating System - Locking Drill Guide
  2. Acu-Loc 2 Volar Distal Radius Plating System - Kickstand Post

Reason

It has come to Acumed's attention that five kickstand post batches and one drill guide batch have potentially nonconforming threads. This non-conformance would prevent the instruments from attaching to the plate. The inability to utilize these instruments could cause health hazards such as prolonged surgery or revision surgery.
