Exactech is recalling 826 Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder humeral liners (Item Numbers 320-36-10 and 320-36-13) due to nonconforming packaging. The vacuum bags lack the required oxygen barrier layer consisting of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH).
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: Medical implant classified as risk-of-harm product (shoulder arthroplasty implant) with packaging specification defect affecting device preservation. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the safety-critical nature of the missing oxygen barrier meets the high-severity rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products without yet-reported adverse events.
