Contact your doctor about I.T.S. GmbH Pilonplate

I.T.S. GmbH has recalled certain Pilonplate devices used in orthopedic surgery because new MRI safety testing found they heat up more than expected during MRI scans under certain conditions. The devices affected include Anterolateral Tibia Plates, Pilon Plates 4mm, and Pilon Plates Small with specific article and lot numbers.

  • If you have had surgery with one of these plates, contact your surgeon or orthopedic doctor with your implant information
  • Do not have an MRI scan until you speak with your doctor about your implant
  • Ask your doctor about your implant's specific article and lot number to determine if it is affected
Hazard

Updated MRI safety testing demonstrates higher RF-induced temperature increases under certain MRI conditions than previously reflected in the Instructions for Use (IFU).
