OmnIlife Science Recalls Hip Replacement Liners Due to Oxidation Limits

OmnIlife Science is recalling three units of SERF Novae Dual Mobility Cup Inserts because they exceed acceptable oxidation limits, potentially increasing wear rates and the need for revision surgery.

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: The recall involves a high-risk medical device where a defect (oxidation) poses a risk of harm (revision surgery), but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

OmnIlife Science Inc. is recalling three units of the SERF Novae Dual Mobility Cup Insert 51/28- ApeX-LNK Poly Liner. These medical devices are intended for use with the Apex Modular Acetabular Cup during total hip replacement procedures. The specific lot number is 28413, and the product code is H6-25128.

The recall was initiated because the acetabular liners have a higher than acceptable oxidation limit. This defect creates a potential for patients to experience a higher wear rate for the acetabular liners, which may require a revision surgery.

The affected units were distributed in Alabama, Idaho, Maryland, New York, and Oklahoma. Patients who have had this specific device implanted should contact their healthcare provider to discuss the potential risks and necessary follow-up care.
