SEASPINE Reef TA Inserter Recall: Risk of Improper Implant Positioning
SEASPINE recalls Reef TA Inserter (Part TA2-001003) due to potential improper implant positioning during spinal surgery. Affected units have specific UDI-DI markings and lot numbers.
Inserter, used as part of a system with an intervertebral body fusion device, may contribute to difficulty disengaging the implant or improper implant positioning, which may may lead to prolonged surgery, intraoperative revision, and may require the use of alternate instrumentation. Devices may also have incorrect UDI-DI marking.
