Skeletal Kinetics Recalls Osteovation Bone Void Filler Kits

Skeletal Kinetics is recalling Osteovation 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 involves a medical device with a defect that could lead to significant health consequences, such as nonunion or delayed bone healing, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Skeletal Kinetics, LLC is recalling 116 units of Osteovation, 10cc, Inject Formula bone void filler kits. The affected lots are 1127160, 1127031, 1130303, 1138055, and 1139832. The product is indicated to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system, such as those in the extremities, spine, or pelvis.

The recall was initiated because the bone void filler kits may not maintain their setting characteristics for the labeled shelf-life duration. This defect could increase the required surgical and anesthesia time for patients. Potential longer-term health consequences include incomplete bone formation, lack of bone formation, delayed union, or nonunion.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Switzerland. Healthcare providers and patients who have used or possess these specific lots should contact Skeletal Kinetics for further instructions on how to proceed.
