Plain-English summary
DePuy Spine, Inc. is recalling the CONFIDENCE SPINAL CEMENT SYSTEM 5CC KIT (Product Code: 2839-05-000). The device is intended for the percutaneous delivery of CONFIDENCE Spinal Cement, which is indicated for the fixation of pathological fractures of the vertebral body during vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures.

Approximately 3,896 units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous international markets. The source text does not specify the number of patients affected or report any specific injuries or illnesses associated with this defect.
