Why these products were recalled

Potential for Spinal Clamps to be damaged when opened beyond intended limits, either no opening once attached to a patient's spinous process or leaving a component behind in the patient's body following breakage.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
