Why these products were recalled

Zimmer is initiating a lot specific recall of the CPT Hip Stem, Versys Build-Up Block, and Trabecular Metal Reverse Glenosphere medical devices due to reports of the products being packaged in the incorrect outer carton. Product labels and patient labels are correct.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
