Reported risk: Medtronic has discovered the directional arrow at the proximal end of the instrument may be misaligned, thus the recalled product may not correctly align with the cut-out opening on the distal end of the instrument. Using affected directional bone filler devices may result in the injected cement being placed in a direction unintended by the Surgeon.
