OSSUR Miami J Select Collar Recalled for Deforming Height-Adjustment Racks

Ossur Americas is recalling the MIAMI J SELECT COLLAR cervical spine device due to deforming racks that may reduce immobilization. About 10,469 units were distributed nationwide.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall for a critical medical device with a structural defect (deforming racks) that directly compromises its intended immobilization function. While no injuries have been reported, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where the hazard is significant given the device's critical role in cervical spine support.

Plain-English summary

Ossur Americas is recalling the MIAMI J SELECT COLLAR, a cervical spine immobilization device (model references MJS-101, MJSR-101). The device contains racks associated with height adjustment functionality that have insufficient column strength for all load conditions.

The height-adjustment racks have been observed deforming due to inadequate column strength. This deformation may lead to increased range of motion in the cervical spine, compromising the device's ability to provide proper immobilization.

Approximately 10,469 devices have been recalled. The affected units were distributed nationwide throughout the United States, including all states and Puerto Rico, with lot numbers MX180425 through MX200306.
