FDA (Devices) recall action 79315
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 70 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 70 pages.
Revision rate identified as higher than other proximal radial head replacement devices based on literature review. Product may not perform at expected level post-surgery.
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.
