DePuy Synthes Recalls Norian Drillable Inject Due to Labeling Error
DePuy Synthes is voluntarily recalling Norian Drillable Inject 5 CC-Sterile units because the internal rotary pouch may be labeled with the incorrect powder volume, though the actual contents are correct.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a labeling error where the actual product contents are correct, fitting the rubric for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
Plain-English summary
DePuy Synthes is initiating a voluntary recall of unexpired and unopened units of Norian Drillable Inject 5 CC-Sterile. The recall affects specific part and lot numbers identified in the agency's documentation. The product is intended for bony voids or defects of the extremities and pelvis that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.
The reason for the recall is that the rotary pouch within the referenced lots may potentially be labeled with the incorrect powder volume or size. However, the source text confirms that the rotary pouch contains the correct powder volume and size according to the outer label. This is a labeling discrepancy rather than a defect in the product's physical contents.
The recall covers 2,812 units distributed nationwide to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and internationally to Canada. The affected catalog IDs are 07.704.003S, 07.704.005S, and 07.704.010S. Healthcare providers and facilities should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice and stop using any unexpired, unopened units that match the affected codes.
