DePuy Orthopaedics' TruMatch CT surgical instrument system has a software coding error that may prevent proper alignment of scanning images, potentially causing limb malalignment during joint replacement 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: FDA Class II recall involving surgical guidance software with potential for significant harm (limb malalignment). No injuries or illnesses reported, but the hazard represents a risk-of-harm product in a surgical context where misalignment could lead to patient injury.
Plain-English summary
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. is recalling the TruMatch CT CUT GUIDE FEM L (Part Number 420917), a patient-specific surgical instrument system designed to assist in positioning joint replacement components and guiding bone-cutting during hip, knee, and ankle replacement surgeries.
A coding error in the Fast3D Segmentation software can cause the three required images (hip, knee, and ankle) to become misaligned during the scanning process. This misalignment may result in inaccurate anatomic landmark locations, potentially causing limb malalignment during the surgical procedure.
