An official Health Canada notice concerns Compress anchor plug.

The affected anchor plugs potentially have metal burrs in the transverse holes of the device, preventing the drill or pins from passing through. The issue was determined to be caused by a manufacturing process update impacting select lots manufactured prior to 2019. There have been five complaints received for the issue. The potential interference issue would be recognizable at the point of use. Any products previously implanted from the affected lot numbers are not impacted by this recall. Recall Start Date: October 16, 2023 Published 2023-10-19.
