PRIMA TT Shoulder Implant Baseplates Recalled for Manufacturing Defect Risk

PRIMA TT shoulder implant baseplates are being recalled by Limacorporate due to manufacturing defects in the baseplate peripheral holes that could cause the implant to loosen or the screw to move.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall involving a manufacturing defect in a critical orthopedic implant component. The recall is based on the risk of implant loosening or screw displacement, but no injuries or adverse events have been reported as of the recall notice.

Plain-English summary

Limacorporate S.p.A. is recalling 179 PRIMA TT Glenoid Monoblock/Modular reverse TT baseplates—shoulder implants used in reverse shoulder replacement surgery. The recalled baseplates include multiple product codes and sizes, ranging from 25mm to 28mm diameter baseplates with various wedge angle configurations.

The recall is due to a manufacturing defect affecting the baseplate's peripheral holes, which could be out of specification. This defect may cause the implant to loosen or allow the attachment screw to move from its original position, potentially compromising the function of the implant.

The affected devices were distributed to healthcare facilities in California, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

Patients who received these implants should contact their surgeon or the facility where they had surgery to confirm whether their implant is affected. Healthcare providers should immediately cease use of the identified product codes and verify which devices were implanted in their patient population.
