Reason for Recall
It was reported that the SYNTHECEL Dura Repair could adhere to various anatomical structures post implantation, which may expose patients to potential risks in the event a surgeon intends to temporarily apply and subsequently remove a SYNTHECEL implant. SYNTHECEL Dura Repair labeling and promotional material are being updated to clarify that SYNTHECEL is intended to remain in place and is not intended to be removed.
Firm Action
Siemens mailed out an Urgent: Field Safety Notification letter informing customers to review the replacement package insert (GP2715-C) and discard the outdated package insert (GP2715-B) and outdated promotional materials.
