Why it was recalled

Halo system products labeled MR conditional will undergo confirmatory safety testing to confirm MR conditional parameters. In addition, the second line description on the titanium pin label mistakenly lists ceramic tip. The second line description should state titanium pin.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
