FDA (Devices) recall action 79043
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 contract supplier notified DePuy Synthes on June 16, 2017 that the kit expiration dates do not align with the earliest expiration date of the component lots within the kit. Some kit expiration dates were later than the earliest expiration date of the component lots. The expiration dates of some components are earlier than that listed on the kit.
