Medical freeze placed on NuVasive spinal rods in UK, Ireland

Spinal Tech

Physicians have been told to stop using all products of NuVasive's Magec System, used to treat patients with early onset scoliosis, according to a report from The Irish Times.

On April 1, regulatory bodies in Ireland and the U.K. told physicians that no Magec device should be implanted until a review of the products has been completed.

In February, NuVasive issued an urgent field safety notice, recalling its Magec X spinal rods after the separation of an actuator end cap component was reported in 0.5 percent of the devices post-implantation.

The Health Products Regulatory Authority in Ireland and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority in the U.K. will conduct an independent review of the Magec devices.
