Plain-English summary

Mako Surgical Corporation is recalling 228 units of the Restoris Partial Knee Application (PKA) RIO (TGS 2.0).

The recall covers all lots with part numbers 201000, 203999, 207300, and 209930.

The recall was initiated because, when using the MAKOplasty partial knee Arthroplasty application, the surgical burr continues to spin outside of the stereotactic boundary even after the control switches (foot pedal and trigger) cease to be activated. This malfunction presents a risk of unintended tissue damage during surgery.
