- not on file
- Reason
- Due to increased risk that paint flakes from the engravings may separate from the device and there is the possibility that the flake may inadvertently enter the wound
- Root cause
- Process change control
- Action
- On 09/30/2025, the firm sent via email an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" Letter informing customers that specified serial numbers, there is an increased risk that paint flakes from the engravings may separate from the Leksell Vantage Arc System components. Separation of paint flakes is likely to occur during cleaning and sterilization. If paint flakes are not washed away during the cleaning and sterilization process, these could remain on the Leksell Vantage Arc System when used in surgery. This poses a risk of paint flakes entering the surgical area. This situation has not been observed in clinical practice, but the risk should be fully considered and mitigated.
