Plain-English summary
Zimmer, Inc. is recalling 58 units of the NexPosure retractor portals, part of the NexPosure MIS Access System. These medical devices are used to allow the placement of posterior spinal fixation implants. The recall is due to a possibility that the sterile inner pouch may be compromised. The product is packaged in two pouches, with a sterile inner pouch within an external pouch.
If the inner pouch is breached, there is an increased risk of contamination and loss of product sterility if proper aseptic technique is not followed when transferring the inner package into the sterile field. This condition may lead to patient infection. The recall is classified as FDA Class II.
The affected units were distributed nationwide, including in Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Virginia.
