What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Acumed LLC is recalling Dual-Trak Clavicle Screws, orthopedic surgical screws used in clavicle fracture repairs. The recall affects multiple part numbers (40-0136 through 40-0147 and -S variants) in 3.0mm and 3.8mm diameters ranging from 80mm to 120mm in length. Approximately 7,498 units were involved in this recall.

The screws were distributed to the United States and internationally without FDA pre-market clearance. FDA pre-market clearance is legally required before medical devices can be marketed in the United States, and this product did not obtain that approval prior to distribution.

Distribution was nationwide across all U.S. states and territories, as well as to multiple countries internationally. Healthcare facilities, surgeons, and hospitals that received these screws should be aware of this recall status.

Patients with implanted screws and healthcare providers should contact Acumed LLC for recall instructions. Any unused screws should be segregated pending further instructions from the manufacturer. Surgeons should determine appropriate follow-up actions for patients with previously implanted devices.
