The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is for a labeling discrepancy where the source text explicitly states the product label information is correct, indicating a documentation issue rather than a product defect or health hazard.
Plain-English summary
Zimmer Inc. is initiating a correction to the patient labels of NCB cancellous screws manufactured before March 2010 by the Zimmer GmbH production site in Winterthur, Switzerland. The action was taken after the company received four complaints regarding a discrepancy between the product patient labels and the product labels concerning reference and lot numbers.
The source text states that while the information printed on the product label is correct, the discrepancy was identified in the patient labels. The recall involves two units of the NCB cancellous screw, specifically REF Number 02.02152. 085 Lot 2477869. These products were distributed nationwide.
Consumers and healthcare providers should verify the reference and lot numbers on the patient labels against the product labels to ensure accuracy. No specific instructions for disposal or replacement are provided in the source text.
