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 involves minor labeling errors and pending safety testing, which aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk issues or voluntary precautionary measures.

Plain-English summary

Ossur Americas is recalling 342 units of Ossur OB Resolve, Sterile, ring kits and component trays. The recall covers all lots of these products manufactured between June 30, 2009, and December 13, 2018. The affected products were distributed to various states in the United States, including Hawaii, Alabama, California, and Washington, as well as to foreign countries such as Australia, Germany, New Zealand, and Belgium.

The recall was initiated because Halo system products labeled as MR conditional require confirmatory safety testing to verify their MR conditional parameters. Additionally, a labeling error was identified on the titanium pins, where the second line of the description incorrectly lists a ceramic tip instead of a titanium pin.

This recall is classified as Class II by the FDA. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected products and contact Ossur Americas for further instructions regarding the return or replacement of the items.
