Synthes TFN-Advanced Femoral Nail Recalled for Dimensional Labeling Mismatch
Synthes (USA) Products LLC is recalling TFN-Advanced Femoral Nails because labeled measurements do not match actual dimensions. Nails labeled 200mm may be 170mm and vice versa.
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: FDA Class II recall involving dimensional labeling errors on surgical implants. No hospitalizations or injuries reported in source material, but incorrect implant dimensions pose potential surgical risk if undetected.
Plain-English summary
Synthes (USA) Products LLC is recalling TFN-Advanced Femoral Nails (Part Number 04.037.213S, Lot 607P512) used for temporary fixation and stabilization of proximal femur fractures. The affected nails are labeled and etched with incorrect dimensions: nails labeled 200mm in length may actually measure 170mm, and nails labeled 170mm may actually measure 200mm.
This dimensional discrepancy could affect surgical outcomes if the actual implant size differs significantly from what the surgeon expects based on the labeling. Healthcare providers depend on accurate labeling to select appropriately sized implants for each patient.
The recalled nails were distributed to facilities in Mississippi, Oregon, and Texas in the United States, as well as to Canada and Japan. A total of 6 units were affected (Lot 607P512).
Healthcare providers and facilities that received these nails should stop using them and contact Synthes immediately. Patients who may have received these implants should consult with their healthcare provider about their implant dimensions and whether any follow-up is needed.
