What You Should Do

Remedy

Allez Spine issued a safety notice with attached fax-back attachment on April 14, 2008 via FedEx to all its hospital users, distributors and field representatives informing them of the failure of the sterilization validation and requesting them to use the new recommended sterilization parameters. The notice included copies of the updated Instructions for Use for the Allez Spine Laguna Pedicle Screw System and the Allez Spine Del Mar Pedicle Screw System. The safety notice requested that the revised recommended instructions be used for all future cleaning, decontamination and sterilization. Copies of the revised instructions were also provided with the safety notice along with links to the company website where additional copies may be downloaded.
