Exactech Equinoxe Shoulder Glenoid Components Recalled for Defective Packaging

Exactech is recalling 985 shoulder implant components due to nonconforming packaging that lacks a required oxygen barrier layer. The vacuum bags do not meet packaging specifications.

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 medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The packaging defect—vacuum bags lacking the required Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) oxygen barrier—represents a risk to implant material integrity, meeting the criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
