Plain-English summary

Zimmer Biomet, Inc. is recalling 36 units of RingLoc ArComXL Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Liners, ArComXL High Wall +3mm Liners, and ArComXL MaxRom +3mm Liners. The affected items are Size 23, specifically item numbers XL-108323 and XL-108223.

The recall was initiated because product complaints indicated that the part and lot numbers on the packaging differed from the physical product inside. This discrepancy creates a risk of delay in surgery. The products were distributed nationwide in the USA and internationally to Argentina.

Healthcare providers and patients should check their inventory for these specific item and lot numbers. If the packaging does not match the physical product, the items should not be used. Zimmer Biomet is the recalling firm responsible for this action.
