Plain-English summary
Zimmer, Inc. is recalling 14 units of the Title 2 Bone Screw Remover Instrument, Part Number ET1093-01. This non-sterile, prescription-only device is a component of the Endius TITLE 2 Polyaxial Spinal System, which is used for posterior lumbar fusion procedures. The affected devices are identified by Lot L75066 and were distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall was initiated because the weld on the quick-connect mechanism may break when force is applied to the handle during pedicle screw removal. If the weld breaks, surgeons may need to use an alternate method to remove the screw, which could delay the surgery by up to 30 minutes.
Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected devices and contact Zimmer, Inc. for instructions on return or replacement. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
