Synthes Recalls Six LCP Dia-Meta Volar Distal Radius Plates Due to Packaging Error
Synthes (USA) Products LLC is recalling six LCP Dia-Meta Volar Distal Radius Plates because the preprinted outer boxes were incorrect, though the internal product labels are accurate.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Low severity because it involves a packaging-only problem where the internal product labels are correct, and no adverse health consequences or injuries have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Synthes (USA) Products LLC is recalling six units of the LCP Dia-Meta Volar Distal Radius Plate 15 H Shaft/LT-Sterile. The product is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the radius and other small bones. The recall is limited to Lot Number 9890811 and Catalog ID 02.110.115S.
The recall was initiated because the product was incorrectly packaged. While the labels on the outside of the box and on the plate inside are correct, the preprinted box itself is incorrect. The box is preprinted for a 4.5 mm LCP Condylar Plate - Distal Femur, which is a different device than the one contained inside.
The affected units were distributed to one customer in Colorado. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Healthcare providers and customers should stop using the affected units and contact Synthes (USA) Products LLC for instructions on how to return the product.
