IMPIX DLIF Intervertebral Fusion Device Recalled for Packaging Defect
Medicrea International is recalling IMPIX DLIF intervertebral fusion devices due to potential pinholes in product packaging that could compromise sterility.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall with no reported injuries, hospitalizations, or confirmed contamination. However, the packaging defect presents a potential risk to device sterility, which qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, per the rubric's High severity criterion.
Plain-English summary
Medicrea International is recalling 24 units of the IMPIX DLIF intervertebral fusion device nationwide due to a potential packaging defect. The devices have pinholes in either the inner or outer pouch of the packaging.
Pinholes in the sterile packaging could compromise the sterility of the device. This intervertebral fusion device is used in lumbar spine surgery, and any compromise to sterility could pose a risk to patient safety if the device is implanted.
This recall affects all units distributed nationwide. The specific lot numbers and REF numbers are detailed in the FDA recall notice. Patients who have received this device or healthcare providers who have these devices in inventory should contact Medicrea International for further instructions regarding the affected units.
