Plain-English summary
Encore Medical, Lp is recalling 10 units of the Foundation Knee System Non Sterile Femoral A/P Cut Block - Type II (REF 800-01-139). The affected units are from lots 53839799 and 414012 and were distributed to Texas and Georgia.
The recall is due to markings on the distal face of the instruments being mis-oriented by 180 degrees. This includes the Anterior and Posterior indicators, which surgeons use to correctly place the cut block on the femur. Because the cut block is not symmetric, correct orientation is critical for making proper anterior, posterior, and chamfer cuts to fit the femoral implant.
The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers beyond the recall notice.
