Why these products were recalled

Zimmer Biomet is initiating a Medical Device Correction Notice to provide updated cleaning and disinfecting instructions for use of the Instinct¿ Java¿ System (IFU reference: 046WAN0000T) and Universal Clamp¿ System (IFU reference: SNA027-N-90001).

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.
