DePuy Orthopaedics is recalling 7 units of the Attune Revision Tibial Insert that received excess gamma radiation during manufacturing, which may degrade implant material properties.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall affecting an orthopedic implant that received excess gamma radiation exposure during manufacturing. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the excess radiation may cause material property changes in the implant, creating a potential risk of device malfunction. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
