FDA (Devices) recall action 86317
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.
Product may be mislabeled with the size etched onto products differing from the size information shown on patient sticker labels. Risks associated with this issue may include the Surgeon implanting the incorrect size; significant physical impairment, discomfort and/or disruption of treatment of underlying condition; and the patient experiencing dislocation resulting in revision 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.
