Exactech Recalls InteGrip Acetabular Augments Due to Biological Evaluation Failure

Exactech is recalling 235 units of InteGrip Acetabular Augments because an in-vitro biological evaluation standard was out of range.

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, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is a theoretical out-of-range condition for an in-vitro standard, fitting the criteria for a voluntary precautionary recall or low-risk contamination.
