Medical Device Recall: TruMatch CT Cut Guide Kit Software Misalignment Error

DePuy Orthopaedics is recalling TruMatch CT Cut Guide Kits due to a software coding error in the Fast3D Segmentation software that may cause improper alignment of anatomic images, potentially resulting in limb malalignment during surgery.

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 device recall involving a software error that could cause surgical misalignment. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text; the hazard is potential rather than confirmed. However, the risk of improper limb alignment during joint replacement surgery is significant, warranting a High severity classification.

Plain-English summary

DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. is recalling TruMatch CT Cut Guide Kit L (Part Number 420915) patient-specific surgical instruments. These instruments are intended to assist in positioning joint replacement components and guiding bone marking during orthopedic surgery.

A coding error in the Fast3D Segmentation software used during surgical planning can cause improper alignment of the three required anatomic images (hip, knee, and ankle). This misalignment may cause anatomic landmark locations to be incorrectly identified, potentially resulting in limb malalignment during the surgical procedure.
