Summary

FDA Class II recall initiated for I.T.S. GmbH's DUL and UOL orthopedic implant systems after updated MRI safety testing revealed higher RF-induced temperature increases under certain MRI conditions than previously documented. The affected systems include Distal Ulna Locking and Ulna Osteotomy Locking plates and associated components distributed nationwide.

What changed

I.T.S. GmbH initiated a Class II medical device recall for its DUL and UOL orthopedic implant systems after post-market MRI safety testing demonstrated higher RF-induced heating than originally documented. The updated testing shows increased temperature rises under certain MRI conditions, requiring revision of the Instructions for Use safety information.\n\nHealthcare providers who perform MRI scans on patients with these implants must update their protocols and patient guidance. The recall affects orthopedic surgical facilities using Distal Ulna Locking and Ulna Osteotomy Locking systems. Facilities should distribute Field Safety Notices, update IFU documentation, and advise patients of potential MRI heating risks.

What to do next

  1. Distribute Field Safety Notice to all healthcare facilities with affected inventory
  2. Update Instructions for Use with corrected MRI safety parameters
  3. Alert patients implanted with these devices to inform MRI technicians of updated heating risks
