Plain-English summary

Mizuho OSI is recalling 216 sets of Wilson Frame Pads, Model # 5319-37. These pads are used with Radiolucent Wilson Frames (models 5319G and 5321G) to support the torso of prone patients during spine surgery. The affected units were manufactured between December 2016 and March 2017 and were distributed in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and South Korea.

The recall is due to a design deficiency in the construction of the mounting sleeves.

The agency has classified this as a Class II recall.
