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 potential sterilization failure on surgical instruments used in patient procedures. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, inadequate sterilization of orthopedic surgical tools presents a theoretical risk of infection, meeting the High severity threshold for risk-of-harm products without documented injury.

Plain-English summary

Zavation has recalled the ZVplasty Direct Unipedicular Bone Access Kit with Drill, 10 Gauge (REF VCF-DSBAK), used in orthopedic and spinal procedures. A total of 11 units were distributed nationwide.
