Skeletal Kinetics Recalls SKAFFOLD RENU FLOW Bone Void Filler Kits

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

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, and the source text explicitly lists potential significant injury reports such as incomplete bone formation, lack of bone formation, delayed union, or nonunion, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

Skeletal Kinetics, LLC is recalling 86 units of SKAFFOLD RENU FLOW, 5CC bone void filler kits (Product Number: SKMA-FL05, UDI: 813845020849). The recall covers Lot Numbers 16051601 and 17120620. The product is indicated to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system, including extremities, spine, and pelvis.

Possible longer-term health consequences include incomplete bone formation, lack of bone formation, delayed union, or nonunion.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide distribution in the United States and in Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Switzerland. Healthcare providers and patients should stop using the affected lots and contact Skeletal Kinetics for further instructions.
