Plain-English summary

Encore Medical, LP is recalling 15 units of the RSP Standard Humeral Socket Insert, 44MM, HXe-Plus (Part No. 509-00-044). The recall was initiated because the size etched onto the product may differ from the size information shown on the patient sticker labels.

The affected units were distributed in the United States to facilities in Virginia, Minnesota, Indiana, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York, Washington, Kansas, Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, and California. The specific lot number is 380P1009A, and the UDI is 00888912144568.

The FDA classifies this as a Class II recall. The primary risk is that a surgeon may implant the incorrect size of the device. This error could result in significant physical impairment, discomfort, disruption of treatment for the underlying condition, or patient dislocation requiring revision surgery. Healthcare providers should verify the size of the implant against the physical product rather than relying solely on the sticker label.
