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 a Class II FDA recall of an implanted medical device. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, elevated bacterial endotoxin levels on a shoulder implant present a theoretical risk of post-surgical infection, qualifying as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

The recalled implant may exceed the specification for bacterial endotoxin load, with a maximum allowable limit of 20 EU/device. Elevated bacterial endotoxin levels on implanted medical devices increase the risk of infection at the surgical site or systemic infection.
Healthcare providers and patients who may have received this implant should monitor for signs of infection, including fever, pain, swelling, or drainage at the surgical site. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
