OneLIF Torque Limiting Adapter Recalled for Potential Locking Failure

Novapproach Spine is recalling OneLIF Torque Limiting Adapter components used in spinal surgery instruments because the adapter may not remain locked in the ratcheting handle once fully engaged. This could compromise surgical instrument function during use.

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 of a surgical instrument component with a specific mechanical failure mode—the locking mechanism may not engage properly. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported. No injuries or illnesses are documented in the source material.
