Plain-English summary

Ossur H / F is recalling the LP Rotate Foot System, a prosthetic device used for fitting lower extremity amputations. The recall involves 2,194 units, with 1,464 distributed in the United States and 730 internationally. The affected products are sizes 25-27 (categories 1-6) with product numbers LRP062, LRF062, LRPU62, and LRFU62, all from manufacturing lot number HF141022.

The recall is due to a defect where the threads of the outer tube of the shock module are too short, resulting in insecure assembly. This defect may cause the shock module to become loose from the foot blade during use, which could cause the patient to fall.

The devices were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and to various international locations including Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada. Consumers should stop using the affected devices immediately and contact the manufacturer for instructions on repair or replacement.
