Grafton Plus DBM Paste medical device recalled for packaging inspection failure

Medtronic is recalling Grafton Plus DBM Paste due to a missed inspection step on the outer packaging. The outer Tyvek pouch may have non-conformances that could affect product integrity.

What this means for you

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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. Although the packaging defect is potential rather than confirmed, this surgical device could pose a risk of harm if sterility is compromised. The combination of Class II status and theoretical risk to a high-risk product justifies a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

Grafton Plus DBM Paste is a demineralized bone matrix surgical material manufactured by Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA Inc. The product is available in three model numbers (T45001, T45005, T45010), and 583 units are included in this recall.

Medtronic is recalling specific batches due to a failure to perform a required inspection step on the outer Tyvek pouch during manufacturing. Because this inspection was not completed according to requirements, some batches may contain non-conformances in the outer packaging that could affect product integrity.

The affected batches were distributed in the United States, Colombia, South Korea, New Zealand, India, and Taiwan. The recall applies to specific serial numbers for each model, which are detailed in the official FDA notice.

Healthcare providers and patients with affected units should contact Medtronic or their healthcare provider for replacement or return instructions.
