MicroPort Knee Implant Recall: Wrong Size Component in Packaging

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: Class II medical device with critical packaging error placing wrong size and orientation components in packages, creating surgical risk. No reported illnesses or injuries limit it to High severity per the rubric's risk-of-harm criterion.
Plain-English summary
MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. is recalling EVOLUTION™ MP Femoral CS/CR Non-Porous total knee replacement implants due to a packaging and component substitution error. One confirmed incident involved Size 4 right-side components (part number EFSRN4PR, lot MP1982170) that were opened during surgery and found to contain Size 3 left-side components (part number EFSRN3PL, lot MP1982097) instead.
A size and orientation mismatch between packaged and actual contents creates a critical surgical risk. If an unaware surgeon proceeded with implantation without verification, the mismatched implant could cause surgical complications or failure of the knee replacement.
The recalled units were distributed internationally to China only, with no field inventory in the United States.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
