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: The recall involves a medical device with a potential risk of injury to patients, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a high-risk product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Integra Burlington MA, Inc. is recalling 371 units of the Integra Ojemann Cortical Stimulator (Catalogue No. OCS2). The device is intended for intraoperative cortical stimulation mapping procedures. The affected units have serial numbers ranging from 1010 through 1380.

This transmission could be a potential source of injury.

The affected devices were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Great Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Morocco, Portugal, Saudia Arabia, Sweden, Turkey, and South Africa.
