Reason for recall

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.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
