Allen Spine Positioner Components Recalled for Adhesive Curing Defect
Baxter Healthcare is recalling Allen Standard Starburst spine positioning components due to adhesive that may not cure correctly, potentially compromising mechanical holding force in surgical head positioning devices.
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 affecting a surgical positioning device. Although no injuries have been reported, the defect—adhesive failure that could compromise mechanical integrity during surgical procedures—represents a risk of harm to patients in surgical settings.
Plain-English summary
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling Allen Standard Starburst, Mayfield/Doro Standard Spine Positioner Components (Reference A-70710, #800103, UDI/DI 00615521002725). These medical devices are used to position and support patients' heads during surgical procedures.
The recall is due to a defect in the adhesive applied to the screws and bolts that function as additional holding mechanisms. The adhesive may not cure correctly, which could result in loss of holding force and reduced mechanical integrity of the device during use.
The affected devices are identified by Lot Number 22-123. Two units were distributed to healthcare facilities in Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, and Texas, as well as internationally to Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and South Africa. Healthcare facilities and surgical teams that have these devices should immediately cease use and contact Baxter Healthcare Corporation for replacement or return instructions.
