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, which typically corresponds to a 'High' severity score (3) in the absence of reported hospitalizations or injuries, as the risk is related to potential loss of sterility rather than a confirmed structural defect or reported harm.
Plain-English summary
Zimmer Manufacturing B.V. is recalling 2,388 units of Versis Press Fit LD/FX hip arthroplasty components. These medical devices are used in total or hemi hip arthroplasty procedures. The recall covers specific item numbers 783401000 through 783401600 under product code JDI.
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 source text notes that the affected products are sterile, but the lack of calibration data creates a potential risk regarding the integrity of the sterile packaging. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States. Healthcare providers and patients should check their inventory and patient records for the specific lot numbers listed in the official recall notice. If a patient has received one of these devices, they should contact their healthcare provider for guidance on monitoring or potential revision surgery.
