Mako Surgical Recalls Restoris Knee Implants Due to Packaging Damage

Mako Surgical Corporation is recalling 146 units of the Restoris Multicompartmental Knee System because damaged packaging may have compromised the sterile barrier.

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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a compromised sterile barrier for an implant, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though specific injuries are not reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Mako Surgical Corporation is recalling 146 units of the Restoris Multicompartmental Knee (MCK) System. The recall involves specific catalog numbers and lots of the Restoris MCK Baseplate in clamshell packaging configuration.

The recall was initiated because reports indicated that the Mylar/Tyvek pouches for the baseplate exhibited damage. This damage compromised the sterile barrier, which is critical for maintaining the sterility of the implant prior to surgical use.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in Italy, Scotland, Turkey, Greece, Germany, and Singapore. Healthcare providers and patients who have received or used these specific lots should contact Mako Surgical Corporation for further instructions on how to proceed.
