Why Was This Recalled?

In about 5% of tested samples, the outer tray was found to be compromised. Risks: A damaged outer tray detected during surgery may cause a delay in surgery to obtain another implant. If a compromised packaging is not detected prior or during a surgery by the user, it may lead to periprosthetic infection. This may result in revision or multi-stage revision to treat the infection.
