What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. is recalling the ATTUNE INTUITION Impactors (catalog numbers 254401003, 254401004, and 254401006). These are reusable instruments used in knee replacement procedures to impact and drive home specific mating parts, including the Fixed Tibial bearing, Rotating Tibial Platform, and Femoral impactor.
The recall is due to reports that the impactors have broken and produced small pieces. If a fracture occurs during surgery and is not observed, there is a potential for these small fractured pieces of the instrument to be left in the patient.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including the United States (nationwide, including Puerto Rico, excluding Alaska and Rhode Island) and various international markets. Healthcare facilities and providers should stop using these instruments and contact DePuy Orthopaedics for instructions on return or replacement.
