DePuy S-ROM Rotating Hinge Recall Due to Sterile Barrier Defect
DePuy Orthopaedics is recalling S-ROM Noiles Rotating Hinge Femur devices because holes may develop in the sterile barrier pouches.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is a potential sterile barrier failure, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving low-risk contamination or precautionary measures without reported harm.
Plain-English summary
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. is recalling S-ROM Noiles Rotating Hinge Femur with Pin devices due to a potential defect in the sterile barrier system. The company identified that holes may develop in the inner and outer flexible pouches that protect the device, although the outer carton and shrink wrap remain intact.
The S-ROM Noiles Rotating Hinge Femur with Pin is a medical device used in revision knee surgeries when significant bone loss or ligament instability requires additional support. The recall involves 129 units that were distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally to numerous countries including Canada, Australia, and various nations in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
A package redesign is currently underway to resolve the issue. The recalled devices will remain in the inventory of US distributors during the recall process.
