Check MRI safety for I.T.S. ulna bone implants

I.T.S. GmbH is recalling specific DUL and UOL bone plate and screw systems used to stabilize ulna fractures. New MRI safety testing found these implants generate more heat during MRI scans than the original instructions stated, which could potentially cause tissue damage.

  • If you have one of these implants, inform your doctor before any MRI procedure.
  • Do not have an MRI until you confirm with your surgeon whether your specific implant model is safe under current MRI conditions.
  • Check the product article number and lot number on your implant documentation to see if yours 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).
