Medtronic Sofamor Danek recalls Infinity Multi-Axial Screws (4.0mm x 34mm) due to reduced grip strength from incorrect titanium. Affected units have batch numbers H5806345. Contact for return or repair.
Incorrect type of titanium was used which reduces the gripping strength of the screw head of 5 batches of Infinity Multi-Axial Screws
Medtronic Sofamor Danek is recalling certain Infinity Multi-Axial Screws for spinal surgery because they use incorrect titanium that weakens the screw's grip. This could lead to the implant failing during spinal fusion procedures, potentially causing pain or instability.
The screws use a different type of titanium than intended, which reduces their ability to hold securely in the spine. This could cause the screw to loosen or fail during spinal fusion, leading to instability or pain.
Patients who received the Infinity Multi-Axial Screws (4.0mm x 34mm) with batch number H5806345 for spinal fusion are affected. Surgeons and medical staff using these screws in procedures are at risk.
Check if your Infinity Multi-Axial Screw is labeled as 4.0mm x 34mm with batch number H5806345. These screws were used for spinal fusion procedures.
Identify if your screw has the batch number H5806345 and size 4.0mm x 34mm.
