Plain-English summary
Biomet, Inc. is recalling three units of the Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Glenosphere Mini Baseplate with Taper Adapter. This medical device is intended to serve as the foundation for the reverse shoulder prosthesis head (glenosphere). The recall is due to a packaging error where the product may be shipped without the required taper adapter or baseplate.
The source text indicates that the package should contain one baseplate and one taper adapter. However, affected units may be packaged with two baseplates and no adapters, or with no baseplates and two adapters. The affected lot numbers are 488150 and 564110. The products were distributed nationwide in the United States, including in the states of Colorado, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wyoming.
Healthcare providers and patients should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers. If the packaging does not match the required configuration of one baseplate and one taper adapter, the product should not be used. Biomet is the recalling firm responsible for this action.
