Plain-English summary

Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling 71 units of the TS Series Depth Gauge for the Integra Ti6 Internal Fixation System. These gauges are used by physicians to determine the correct screw length when implanting 2.0 or 2.5mm TS Series screws.

The recall was initiated following an internal investigation into a non-conformance. The investigation determined that depth gauges from Lot UP15H2 exceed overall length specification requirements. Additionally, depth gauges from prior lot numbers UP09D3 and UP07E2, manufactured before Integra acquired the product line, reflect an incorrect number for the first millimeter depth marking; the marking displays '6' instead of the correct '4'.

The affected units were distributed in the United States to the states of Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using these specific depth gauges and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
