The product is being recalled due to the central screw drill seizing inside the Comprehensive VRS Inserter, which may lead to an extension of surgery to find a replacement device.

On May 11, 2020, the firm distributed Urgent Medical Device Recall letters to affected customers. Distributors were asked to return all affected product from their distributorship and from affected hospitals within their territory.
