Zimmer Identity Shoulder Resection Planer Units Recalled for Malfunction
Zimmer, Inc. is recalling 84 units of the Identity Shoulder System Resection Planer due to defects discovered during training testing. Some units are unusable, potentially affecting surgical performance in shoulder procedures.
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: This is a risk-of-harm product (surgical instrument that may malfunction) where no injuries have been reported yet. The defect was discovered during testing before clinical use, but a non-functioning surgical planer could directly impact surgical outcomes if not detected during use.
Plain-English summary
Zimmer, Inc. is recalling 84 units of the Identity Shoulder System Resection Planer (models 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, and 55mm) distributed nationwide in Arkansas, California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. The recall was initiated after two planer units were found to be unusable during sawbones shoulder training.
