Synthes USA Recalls Norian Drillable Inject Due to Expiration Date Mismatch
Synthes USA is recalling 239 units of Norian Drillable Inject because kit expiration dates do not align with the earliest expiration dates of the component lots.
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, but the source text describes a labeling discrepancy regarding expiration dates without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving labeling errors or low-risk issues.
Plain-English summary
Synthes USA is recalling 239 units of Norian Drillable Inject, Product Number 07.704.003S, Lot Number DSD9110. The product was distributed nationwide.
The recall was initiated after the contract supplier notified DePuy Synthes on June 16, 2017, that the kit expiration dates do not align with the earliest expiration date of the component lots within the kit. Specifically, some kit expiration dates were later than the earliest expiration date of the component lots, meaning the expiration dates of some components are earlier than that listed on the kit.
Healthcare providers and consumers should stop using the affected product and contact Synthes USA for further instructions.
