Stanmore Implants Recalls Tibial Components Due to Packaging Puncture

Stanmore Implants Worldwide Ltd. is recalling 51 tibial components because the device stem may have punctured the sterile packaging.

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, and the hazard involves a packaging defect that compromises sterility. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, and the defect is a packaging issue rather than a structural failure of the implant itself.

Plain-English summary

Stanmore Implants Worldwide Ltd. is recalling 51 units of Tibial Component Metal Cased Small Long, Small Short, Std Long, and Std Short. These medical devices are intended for the replacement of diseased or deficient bone around the knee joint, distal femur, proximal femur, or total femur bone.

The recall was initiated after the firm received five customer inquiries reporting that at least one pouch of the double pouch packaging configuration had been punctured by the tip of the device's stem. This defect compromises the sterile barrier of the packaging.

The affected units were distributed nationwide to Ohio, Nebraska, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Mississippi, Maryland, Connecticut, Alabama, and Pennsylvania. Specific lot codes for the recalled units include A10337, A11525, A7823, A9990, A11289, A11979, A12134, A7186, A8679, A9743, A10344, A10629, A10791, A10348a, A11198, A11557, A11895, A12090, A12129, A12220, A12223, and A12229. Healthcare providers and consumers should check their inventory for these specific codes and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or replacement.
