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. The source describes a manufacturing assembly error (wrong screw size) without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a potential defect without confirmed harm.

Plain-English summary

SpineFrontier, Inc. is recalling 35 units of the PedFuse Reset pedicle screw, Model 01-80115-55. These implants are intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic, lumbar, and/or sacral spine. The affected lot number is 357305-000.

The recall was initiated after routine servicing revealed that one 8mmx55mm Reset screw was incorrectly assembled with an 8mm tulip head and a 9mm screw, rather than the required 8mm tulip head and 8mm screw. The company is removing all remaining screws of the same lot from the field to investigate this nonconformity.

The affected devices were distributed in the United States to Virginia and Texas. No specific instructions for consumers or healthcare providers are provided in the source text regarding immediate action, but the devices are being removed from the field.
