Plain-English summary
Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling 94 units of the NewPort System MIS Rod 2. The affected product is a 5.5 diameter titanium spinal rod used to immobilize adjacent NewPort pedicle screws. The recall covers specific model numbers ranging from 45mm to 80mm, including 60-0545, 60-0550, 60-0555, 60-0560, 60-0575, and 60-0580.
The recall was initiated because the rods may be up to 30 degrees offset from specification requirements. This deviation could cause misalignment with the inserter, potentially resulting in the lordosis of the rod not aligning with the handle when the inserter is used according to the current NewPort MIS System Surgical Technique.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas) and in Australia, the Czech Republic, and Spain. Specific lot numbers include Z21781A, Z21956A, Z21782A, Z21957A, Z21784A, and Z21958A. Healthcare providers and patients should contact the manufacturer or their supplier for further instructions regarding the replacement or return of these devices.
