Primus is a spinal fixation system made from screws, hooks, rods and connectors attached to the non-cervical spine, from the thoracic spine through the sacrum and into the ilium. Rods span the distance between screws and join mechanically with them to achieve fixation.
The filing describes its use to immobilize and stabilize the spine in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion from T1 to S1. It lists anterior or posterior non-pedicle fixation and posterior pedicle fixation for several spinal conditions.

22 of these are Class III. Class III is unlikely to cause harm at all → typically a labelling or documentation fault. Volume alone is not a quality signal: a manufacturer that ships more recalls more.
