    • Terminated Z-0168-2013 FDA Class II initiated 25 Sep 2012 on shared 510(k) K042673

    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.

    • Terminated Z-0967-2013 FDA Class II initiated 6 Jul 2011

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

    • Terminated Z-0491-2010 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) initiated 3 Nov 2008

    Alphatec Spine recently discovered that this lot of screws has the incorrect length laser etched on one side of the screw body. As a result, they are conducting a voluntary recall of the Zodiac Titanium cannulated polyaxial screw 6.5 mm x 50 mm L.
