FDA (Devices) recall action 81528
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.
Zimmer Biomet is conducting a lot specific medical device recall for two lots of the Orthopedic Salvage System (OSS) and the Comprehensive Shoulder System. The investigation determined that the Mini Humeral Stem is potentially labeled as the Bowed IM Stem lot. The associated risk of this product issue is a potential extension of surgery <30 minutes if a replacement is readily available.
