The first date consignees were notified was on 5/28/2024 by their Field Representative. The letter provided the details on the tissue the consignee received, the date it was implanted, and the implanting surgeon. The issue was described and it was pointed out there was no indication the impacted tissues were contaminated and unlikely to pose a health risk to the patient. The letter discussed the testing conducted on each allograft and that the identified allograft was reported to have an invalid Post-Processing Sterility test result or a Pre-Processing Culture test result (depending on the consignee letter), which represents a technical failure in the test, not an indication of a positive result. A response form was enclosed for return to acknowledge receipt of the notification.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
