Innovasis Recalls Excella II Titanium Spine Rods Due to Labeling Error

Innovasis is recalling two lots of Excella II titanium spine rods because they were packaged with each other's labels.

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, and the hazard is a labeling error (mis-labeling) without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Innovasis, Inc. is recalling two lots of Excella II titanium rods intended for use in the non-cervical area of the spine. The recall involves catalog numbers SR 55100 (5.5 x 100 mm) and SR 55110 (5.5 x 110 mm), both from Lot 1502. The products were packaged in heat-sealed plastic bags or reusable steam sterilization trays as implant sets.

The recall was initiated because the two lots were packaged using each other's labels. This labeling error could lead to the use of the wrong implant size or type during surgical procedures.

A total of 17 units were distributed in the United States to California, Kansas, Ohio, and Texas. Healthcare providers and patients who have received these specific implants should contact Innovasis, Inc. for further instructions on removal or replacement.
