Kyphx Bone Filler Device

Reason

Medtronic has discovered the directional arrow at the proximal end of the instrument may be misaligned, thus the recalled product may not correctly align with the cut-out opening on the distal end of the instrument. Using affected directional bone filler devices may result in the injected cement being placed in a direction unintended by the Surgeon.
