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.

Plain-English summary

Synvasive Technology Inc is recalling 14 units of Zimmer Oscillating Flat - TS ST Hub saw blades. The affected products are identified by Synvasive Part No. 11-4770, Part No. 19075127YT1, and Lot Nos. 45104 and 43054. These oscillating surgical saw blades are intended for use with powered equipment to resect bone and/or cartilage in orthopedic procedures.

The recall was initiated because the two lots of saw blades incorrectly identify the blade cutting width as 25mm, whereas the correct specification is 19mm. This labeling error could lead to the use of an incorrect blade size during surgical procedures.

The 14 affected units were distributed in the United States to one location each in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific saw blades and contact Synvasive Technology Inc for further instructions.
