What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard is a labeling error regarding device dimensions. No injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.

Plain-English summary

Onkos Surgical, Inc. is recalling four units of the Eleos Limb Salvage System Segmental Stem, Canal Filling, Diameter 20mm, Length 120mm, Style Straight, Type Canal Filling, Collar 25mm (Ref 2500SP22E). The recall is limited to Lot 1699599.

The recall was initiated because the device collar size was incorrectly labeled as 25 mm, whereas it should have been recorded as 32 mm. This labeling error could lead to the use of an incorrectly sized component during medical procedures.

The affected units were distributed to facilities in Arizona, Illinois, and Kansas. Healthcare providers and patients should verify the lot number and collar size specifications of any implanted or stored devices against the recall notice. If a device matches the recalled description, it should be removed from use and returned to the manufacturer or reported to the FDA.
