Skeletal Kinetics Recalls Acumed Callos Bone Void Filler Kits

Skeletal Kinetics is recalling Acumed Callos bone void filler kits because they may not maintain setting characteristics for the labeled shelf life.

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 involves a risk-of-harm medical device where potential injury (delayed union, nonunion) has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Skeletal Kinetics, LLC is recalling 184 units of Acumed Callos Inject 3CC bone void filler kits. The product is indicated to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system, including extremities, spine, and pelvis. The recall covers specific lot numbers distributed worldwide, including in the United States and several international countries.

The recall was initiated because the bone void filler kits may not maintain their setting characteristics for the labeled shelf-life duration. If the product fails to set properly, it may increase the required surgical and anesthesia time for the patient. Potential longer-term health consequences include incomplete bone formation, lack of bone formation, delayed union, or nonunion.

Healthcare providers and patients who have used or have these specific lot numbers of Acumed Callos should contact Skeletal Kinetics for further instructions on how to proceed. The affected lot numbers are 17091305, 17091304, 17091303, 17101916, 17110325, 1126148, 1129604, and 1135939.
