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 involving a false safety statement about MRI compatibility. No illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported.

Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury score at most High (3).

Plain-English summary

BioPro, Inc. is recalling the Titanium MPJ (toe implant), Part ID 17197, due to an incorrect statement in the product documentation regarding MRI compatibility. The instruction manual (IFU BP102303 rev 05) and patient implant cards (22266 rev 00) indicate that the Titanium MPJ implant has been tested for safety and compatibility in the MR environment and is MR Conditional. However, MRI testing has not been conducted on the titanium version of the implant.

The recalled devices were distributed nationwide in Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and South Dakota (Lot Number 128361; UDI 00810012480277). The inaccurate statement could lead patients and healthcare providers to make decisions about MRI imaging based on incorrect information about the device's safety profile.
