Medicrea Pass LP Trocar K-wire Recalled for Fit Issues
Medicrea International is recalling 30 units of Pass LP Trocar K-wires because they may not fit into conical cannulated screws.
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 hazard is a mechanical fit issue where the wire does not enter the screw, which is a functional defect rather than a direct risk of serious injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
