Innomed is recalling the Cup Removal Starter Instrument due to a manufacturing error where the finisher blade was affixed instead of the starter blade. The wrong blade could compromise surgical performance during hip replacement procedures.
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 for a surgical instrument with a manufacturing defect that affects device function. No injuries or illnesses have been reported, making the hazard theoretical; therefore the score does not exceed 3. However, the use of the wrong blade component during hip replacement surgery presents a significant risk-of-harm product, justifying a High severity rating.
