Medtronic Accelerate Grafton DBF Bone Matrix Packaging Defect Recall

Medtronic is recalling Accelerate Grafton DBF bone matrix products due to potential packaging non-conformances in the sterile pouch system that may compromise the sterile barrier. The recall affects 3,037 units distributed worldwide.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a risk-of-harm medical device where potential exists for sterile barrier compromise but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard—potential loss of sterility in a surgical bone matrix product—poses significant risk of infection if a compromised package is used, meeting the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA Inc is recalling the Accelerate Grafton DBF (Demineralized Bone Matrix) product in four configurations: ACCELERATE BG SET T50203 (3cc), T50206 (6cc), T50209 (9cc), and T50212 (12cc). The recall is due to potential non-conformances in the dual-barrier sterile pouch packaging system that may result in a breach of the sterile barrier.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and to over 40 countries. A total of 3,037 units are involved in this recall, with specific serial numbers identified for each product configuration.

The primary concern is that non-conforming packaging could allow the sterile barrier to be compromised, potentially affecting the safety and efficacy of the bone matrix product. Patients, healthcare providers, and facilities that have received affected units should contact Medtronic or their healthcare provider for guidance on product management and replacement options.
