Zavation Direct Working Cannula Recalled for Sterilization Defect
Zavation is recalling 58 units of 11G Direct Working Cannula Diamond Tip Mini devices (Lot 2002437) because they may not have been adequately sterilized before distribution.
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: FDA Class II medical device recall for inadequate sterilization of surgical instruments. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. However, the recalled devices are surgical cannulas intended for invasive spinal procedures, and inadequate sterilization poses an inherent risk of serious infection. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Zavation has initiated a recall of 58 units of 11G Direct Working Cannula Diamond Tip Mini devices (Product Code: INTVMN-DWCD, Lot 2002437). The devices were distributed nationwide in the United States for use in orthopedic and spinal surgical procedures.
These cannulas were distributed as sterile medical devices. Upon review, the FDA determined that the products may not have been adequately sterilized prior to distribution. Non-sterile surgical instruments can pose a risk of serious infection when used in invasive procedures.
Healthcare facilities and providers who received Lot 2002437 should review their inventory to identify any affected units. Individuals and facilities with concerns about received units should contact Zavation or the FDA for guidance.
