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: FDA Class II device with potential for intraoperative complications requiring surgical revision; no adverse events reported. Risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

SeaSpine Orthopedics Corporation is recalling 74 Reef TA Inserters (Part Number TA2-001003), part of the Reef Interbody System used in spinal fusion procedures. The inserter may not disengage properly from the implant during surgery or may allow improper implant positioning.

If the inserter fails to disengage or allows misalignment, the surgeon may need to perform an intraoperative revision or use alternate instrumentation, potentially prolonging the surgery. Additionally, some devices bear incorrect UDI-DI markings. No injuries have been reported.

The affected devices were distributed to medical facilities in Nevada, Texas, Idaho, Michigan, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Washington, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Hong Kong.
