MicroPort Orthopedics Recalls Lineage Liners Due to Metal Debris Tissue Reaction
MicroPort Orthopedics is recalling 5,009 Lineage Liners used with Conserve metal heads due to a suspected tissue reaction to metal debris.
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 FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which the rubric defines as typically scoring 1 or 2 because it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The source notes a suspected tissue reaction but does not report specific injuries or deaths, placing it in the moderate range for a precautionary medical device recall.
Plain-English summary
MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. is recalling 5,009 units of Lineage Liners (REF 70102846, 70202852, 70302858, 70303258, 70402864, 70403264, and 70403664) intended for use with the Conserve metal head. The recall covers units distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and various countries in Europe, Asia, and South America.
The recall was initiated because revision rate trends from the manufacturer's database indicate an increasing overall trend from 2009 to the present. Specifically, the data identified a hazard or harm associated with a suspected tissue reaction to metal debris for modular head Conserve systems and Dynasty metal acetabular liner systems.
Patients who have had these specific liners implanted should contact their orthopedic surgeon or healthcare provider to discuss the recall and determine if further evaluation or intervention is necessary. The FDA has classified this recall as Class III, indicating that the use of or exposure to the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences, but the manufacturer is taking action to correct or remove the product to comply with quality control standards.
