FDA (Devices) recall action 72366
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
The lids on implant caddies within P/N 17-5000 and 19-5000 could not be opened by the user without application of undesirable/unexpected excessive force.
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.
Biomet Microfixation is recalling 5 Thinflap System Cases because the lids require excessive force to open.
Biomet Microfixation is recalling 37 Neuro Combo Set Cases because the lids require excessive force to open.
