Medicrea recalls Pass LP screws (7.5mm x 45mm) that may be too long, causing postoperative pain. Affected units have specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
It has been determined that some Pedicle system screw identified as 45mm long have an actual length of 50mm. Pedicle screws with a diameter of 7.5 mm or more are reserved for the sacrum area. As a result, a screw that is too long could come into contact with the nerves and cause postoperative pain.
Medicrea is recalling Pass LP screws that could be too long (50mm instead of 45mm), risking nerve contact and postoperative pain after spinal surgery. This affects patients who received these screws during spinal procedures.
The screws are designed to be 45mm long but some are actually 50mm. Screws longer than 45mm can contact nerves in the sacrum area, causing pain after surgery. This is a risk during spinal procedures where precise screw length is critical.
Patients who received the recalled Pass LP screws during spinal surgery are most at risk. The product is used in spinal procedures and requires precise screw length for safety.
Check for the model 'Pass LP' with dimensions 7.5mm x 45mm. Affected units have lot numbers 19A0630 (exp. Jan 2029), 19B0329 (exp. Jan 2029), or 19C0734 (exp. Mar 2029).
Verify the screw model and lot number to confirm if it's affected.
Inform your surgeon about the recall and discuss potential risks if you received the recalled screws.
