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 risk-of-harm product (implanted medical device) where the hazard is theoretical (potential loss of sterility) and no injuries or illnesses have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Zimmer Manufacturing B.V. is recalling 5,538 units of Versa-FX II Keyless bone fixation devices, including various short, tube, and plate components. These single or multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances are intended to be implanted to fix fractures of long bones or for joint fusion.
The recall was initiated because of insufficient sealer calibration data for products packaged in the firm's Building II between August 2010 and April 2013. The affected products are sterile, and the calibration issue raises concerns regarding the integrity of the sterile packaging.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States. Healthcare providers and patients should contact Zimmer Manufacturing B.V. for further instructions on the recall and potential replacement or refund options.
