Zimmer Biomet recalls Mobi-C 14mm Distraction Screws with a mislabeled 12mm part on packaging. This could lead to using the wrong size screw during cervical spine surgery. Affected units have item number 0024-LDR.
Incorrect part description contained on an additional label placed on the packaging: A 14mm length part was incorrectly labeled as being a 12mm length screw
Zimmer Biomet is recalling Mobi-C 14mm Distraction Screws due to a mislabeling error where a 12mm screw was incorrectly marked as 14mm on the packaging. Using the wrong screw size during cervical spine surgery could cause improper spinal alignment.
The mislabeled packaging could lead to surgeons using a 12mm screw instead of a 14mm screw during cervical spine surgery. This mismatch might cause improper spinal alignment or instability during the procedure.
Surgical teams using the Mobi-C 14mm Distraction Screws for cervical spine procedures are most at risk. Patients who have undergone surgery with these screws may also be affected.
Check for the item number 0024-LDR on the packaging. The product was distributed by LDR Spine USA, Inc. in Austin, Texas, and sold with a lot number starting with 2017102450.
