Zavation 10G Direct Double Bone Access Kit May Not Be Properly Sterilized
Zavation recalled its 10G Direct Double Bone Access Kit used in orthopedic surgery because products distributed as sterile may not have been adequately sterilized, potentially exposing patients to infection.
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 device recall for sterilization failure on surgical instruments used in orthopedic procedures. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, non-sterile surgical instruments present a serious risk of infection to patients, meeting the rubric criterion of risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Zavation is recalling the 10G Direct Double Bone Access Kit, a surgical instrument kit used in orthopedic and spinal procedures that has been distributed nationwide in the United States.
The kits were distributed as sterile medical devices, but products in this recall may not have been adequately sterilized. Non-sterile surgical instruments can introduce bacteria or other contaminants during surgical procedures, creating a risk of patient infection.
