Skeletal Kinetics is recalling Acumed Callos bone void filler kits because they may not maintain setting characteristics for the labeled shelf-life, potentially increasing surgical time or causing bone formation issues.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source describes potential risk-of-harm consequences (incomplete bone formation, nonunion) without reporting specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

The product is indicated to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system, including extremities, spine, and pelvis.
