Alphatec Spine

Complaints have been received regarding post-operative implant collapse.

Due to reports of intraoperative graft bolt implantation breakages.

Awl instrument adjustable drill button assembly assembled in the incorrect orientation, preventing locking feature from engaging with shaft at the desired set point; instruments lack ability to control awl depth by means of adjustable shaft advancement stop, which may lead to over insertion, dural tear, vascular/neurologic injury, adjacent tissue damage, increased operative time, revision surgery.

Due to manufacturing instruments which included additional features and adequate consideration was not given to the need for a new Regulatory filing.

Alphatec Spine is recalling the Arsenal Spinal Fixation System Set Screw due to a trend in set screw postoperative disengagement from the screw body.

Alphatec Spine is recalling the Arsenal Spinal Fixation System Set Screw due to a trend in set screw postoperative disengagement from the screw body.

During a field audit it was discovered by an employee that a 16mm Trestle Luxe Screw has been both laser marked and labeled as a 14mm Trestle Luxe Screw (4.0mm Variable Angle, Self-Drilling Hexalobe Screw, 14mm). As a result the firm recalling the affected lots codes for this mislabeling.

Alphatec Spine is recalling the 2.1mm Fixed Depth Drill 10mm because they received a report that the instrument malfunctioned and golden stop slid from its fixed position during use.

The firm initiated this recall of certain lots of Illico Ti Cannulated Polyaxial Screws 7.5mm x 40mm implants, due to an off-center cannulation hole at the proximal end of the bone screw. There is a potential risk that when the screw is mated to a polyaxial screwdriver, the guide wire may not pass through the screwdriver.

Alphatec Spine initiated this medical device recall for the following reason: due to tolerancing, the flange of the Phygen Leucadia" Autolok set screw may interfere with the top of the screw head prior to fully locking the rod. If this condition occurs, the polyaxial screw head and rod may fail to provide a rigid construct under loading. To date there have been no reports of patient injury, adve

The rods were incorrectly laser etched as ILLICO¿ Straight CP Tl Rods, 110mm, when they were in fact manufactured to 100mm in length.

The recall was initiated because Alphatec Spine confirmed that the TI Standard Polyaxial Screw Assembly was laser marked with the incorrect length of 45 MM.

The firm initiated the recall because the stainless steel guide-wire of the Illico MIS Fixation System did not completely fit/pass through the tip of certain Illico Ti Cannulated Polyaxial Screws, therefore rendering such screws nonfunctional.

On May 9th 2012 Alphatec Spine received a complaint which reported that the distal tip of the Trestle Luxe Slide Alignment Tool (Part Number 71721), does not properly fit into the hexalobe screw on the Trestle Luxe Plate.
