Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 Some Thorecon disposable tensioners supplied in different Plating System Kits exhibit a molding defect which occludes the through-channel for cable tensioning, rendering the tensioner inoperable.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Process control
Action On September 10, 2019, the firm distributed a letter to customers titled Product Recall: Action Required. The letter informed customers of the potential tensioner failure. Customers were given two options: 1. A&E will provide a supply of individually packaged, sterile tensioners to be kept on hand should a kit tensioner be found inoperable. Surgeons and Operating Room staff need to be alerted to this situation and the stock of additional tensioners readily available to them during surgery. 2. For those customers who prefer to return their affected lots of Thorecon, A&E will provide a Returned Goods Authorization and replacement product (to be provided as soon as inventory is available). Any failed tensioners can be discarded. Customers were asked to complete and return the acknowledgement form included with the mailing. Should you have any questions about the action or the product, please contact your A&E Sales Representative or our Customer Service at 800-323-4035.
