Orthopedic knee implant components mislabeled; size mix-up risk

Corin Ltd recalled 3 Unity CR Femur knee implants due to labeling errors. Size 6 implants from batch 529803 may be labeled as size 7, and vice versa.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II device with labeling error creating a risk of surgical complications. No injuries or hospitalizations have been reported, but size mismatch could compromise the surgical outcome if the wrong implant is inadvertently selected.

Plain-English summary

Corin Ltd has issued a recall of 3 units of Unity CR Femur Right implants (Size 6, Model Number 112.001.32) due to a labeling error. Implants from lot 529803 may be incorrectly labeled as size 7 units from lot 532405, and vice versa.

This labeling confusion poses a risk during knee replacement surgery. If a surgeon selects the implant based on the incorrect label, the patient may receive a component that does not fit properly, potentially affecting the surgical outcome and requiring further intervention.

The affected implants were distributed to healthcare facilities in Michigan, Texas, and Illinois. Healthcare providers who received these devices should verify the actual implant size against the batch information to ensure correct identification during surgery.
