Osteotech Recalls Grafton and Xpansé Bone Graft Products Due to Sterility Concerns
Osteotech is recalling multiple lots of Grafton and Xpansé bone graft products because the sterility of the inner pouch surface may be compromised.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a potential sterility failure in a medical device used for surgical implantation, which poses a risk of infection or harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
