URGENT FIELD SAFETY NOTICE PRODUCT RECALL
HEALIX ADVANCE" Knotless Anchors
Dear Valued Customer,
On 04-November-2019, DePuy Mitek, Inc. initiated a Voluntary Product Removal of specific product codes and lots of the Mitek HEALIX ADVANCE" Knotless Anchors. The anchors were manufactured with BIOCRYL" Biocomposite Material instead of BIOCRYL RAPIDE Biocomposite Material. BIOCRYL and BIOCRYL RAPIDE are biocompatible and effective material choices for absorbable, injection-molded sports medicine implant fixation. No complaints or adverse events related to this issue have been received for the affected product codes/lots.
Product Code: 222330
Product Description: HEALIX KNOTLESS ADV BR 4.75
GTIN: 10886705023462
Lot Number: 5L45257
Product Code: 222331
Product Description: HEALIX KNOTLESS ADV BR 5.5
GTIN: 10886705023479
Lot Numbers: 5L13543 and 5L45259
Potential Harms:
Based on the analysis, it is expected that sport medicine implants made from BIOCRYL (PLLA+TCP) would perform equal to those made from BIOCRYL RAPIDE (PLGA + TCP) during the surgery and therapeutic healing period. As such, this product issue presents no foreseeable increased risk to patient safety nor does it alter the product benefit-risk profile.
BIOCRYL and BIOCRYL RAPIDE Comparison:
" Each material is used clinically today, but in different DePuy Mitek implant brands; both materials have a more than 15 years of use in clinical applications. BIOCRYL was first launched in 2002 and BIOCRYL RAPIDE in 2004.
" The mechanical properties (strength, stiffness) of BIOCRYL and BIOCRYL RAPIDE are similar at the time of anchor deployment; BIOCRYL offers equivalent in vitro strength retention during the therapeutic healing period and out to 12 weeks.
" As for long-term absorption rates, BIOCRYL RAPIDE is expected to absorb in approximately two years versus approximately four years |
