Medicrea Cervical Fusion Implants Recalled for Packaging Defect

Medicrea International is recalling 963 PASS LP cervical fusion implants due to potential pinholes in the device packaging. The recall affects units distributed nationwide.

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: FDA Class II medical device recall for a sterile surgical product where packaging integrity is critical to prevent contamination. The pinhole defect in the packaging poses a risk to product sterility prior to implantation. No reported adverse events are mentioned in the source, making this a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
