Cement Delivery Cannula May Not Be Adequately Sterilized

Zavation is recalling 10 gauge cement delivery cannulas (INTVM-CDC) used in orthopedic procedures because distributed products may not have been adequately sterilized. The recall affects 130 units distributed nationwide.

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 a Class II recall of a surgical device used in invasive orthopedic procedures. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, inadequate sterilization of devices used in surgical applications poses a direct infection risk to vulnerable patients. This constitutes a high-risk product with potential for serious harm.

Plain-English summary
