What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score. The hazard involves a labeling/packaging error that could lead to the use of a contraindicated product, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling 61 units of Accell Evo3C Demineralized Bone Matrix, 5 cc (Model Number: 02-6000-050, Lot Number: 132160). The product was distributed nationwide in the United States.

The recall was initiated because the specific lot was incorrectly packaged in boxes that describe the product as "Accell Evo Demineralized Bone Matrix" rather than "Accell Evo3C." This packaging error creates a risk that the product may be used inappropriately, as Evo3C is contraindicated for the treatment of vertebral compression and is not indicated for use in the posterolateral spine.

Healthcare providers and patients who have received this specific lot should stop using the product and contact Integra LifeSciences Corp. for instructions on return or replacement.
