Astora Recalls MiniArc Pro Sling System Due to Labeling Mismatch

Astora is recalling 52 units of the MiniArc Pro Single incision Sling System because the lot number on the outer carton did not match the labels inside the box.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is limited to a labeling error that affects traceability rather than causing direct physical harm or illness, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Astora is recalling 52 units of the MiniArc Pro Single incision Sling System, Model number 9000261, Lot 936405xxx. The recall was initiated because the lot number printed on the outer carton label did not match the lot number on the tray label or the identification labels located inside the box.

The identification labels inside the box are intended to be placed on medical records and other documents associated with the procedure. The mismatch in lot numbers may prevent direct traceability of the implanted unit in the future. The affected units were distributed in the states of Arizona, California, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Healthcare providers and patients should contact Astora for further instructions regarding the recall. The source text does not specify a specific action for consumers other than the general recall notification.
