Plain-English summary

Medicrea International is recalling multiple lot numbers of the GRANVIA-C, a cervical intervertebral fusion device used in spinal surgery. The recall is prompted by a packaging non-conformity issue that presents as pinholes in either the inner or outer pouch of the device's sterile packaging.

A pinhole in the sterile pouch poses a potential risk to patients by compromising the sterility of the surgical implant. The devices may be exposed to contamination if the packaging integrity is compromised.

The affected devices were distributed nationwide in the United States. Consumers and healthcare providers who have received or used these devices should contact Medicrea International or their distributor to determine if their devices are included in the recall and to obtain guidance on next steps.
