Zimmer Recalls Anatomical Shoulder Inverse Humeral Cups for Labeling Discrepancies
Zimmer, Inc. is correcting patient labels for 66 Anatomical Shoulder Inverse Humeral Cups due to discrepancies in reference and lot numbers.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a labeling discrepancy regarding reference and lot numbers. The source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or deaths, and the hazard is limited to documentation and labeling accuracy rather than a functional defect or contamination.
Plain-English summary
Zimmer, Inc. is initiating a correction for 66 units of the Anatomical Shoulder Inverse Humeral Cup. These specific medical devices were manufactured before March 2010 by the Zimmer GmbH production site in Winterthur, Switzerland, and were distributed nationwide.
The recall was initiated after the company received four complaints regarding a discrepancy between the product patient labels and the product labels. The complaints noted inconsistencies in the reference and lot numbers printed on the labels. The source text indicates that while the information printed on the product label is correct, the discrepancy exists between the two label types.
This correction applies to units with REF Numbers 01.04223.100, 01.04223.106, 01.04223.111, 01.04223.121, 01.04223.190, and 01.04223.196, and Lot Numbers 2310656, 2429295, 2468509, 2310648, 2410046, 2486362, 2474203, and 2317777. Healthcare providers and patients should verify the reference and lot numbers of their devices against this list to determine if they are affected.
