What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: FDA Class II medical device recall involving a manufacturing defect (interfacing issue) on a surgical implant that could prevent proper implantation. No injuries or deaths reported, but the defect poses a risk to patient outcomes in spinal fusion surgery.

Plain-English summary

Innovasis, Inc. is recalling the TxHA PEEK IBF and TxTiHA IBF System intervertebral body fusion devices (568 devices total). These are surgical implants intended to stabilize spinal segments, promote bone fusion, restrict motion, and reduce pain in patients requiring lumbar spine surgery.

The recall is due to interfacing issues between the implant trial components and the inserter tool. These interface problems could prevent proper alignment or insertion of the device during surgery, potentially affecting the success of the fusion procedure.

The affected devices were distributed nationwide to surgical centers in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. Only physicians trained in orthopedic surgery use these devices in hospital and surgical settings. Customers should immediately quarantine and cease use of affected inventory and contact Innovasis for instructions on return or replacement.
