- Reason
- Ortho Development is recalling various Pivot Bipolar Cup, Patella, PS Tibial Insert, UC Tibila Insert, and CK Tibil Insert because the foil pouches did not properly seal, allowing air to seep back into the pouch after sealing which increases the risk that the material properties of the implant would be substantially degraded due to oxidation.
- Root cause
- Packaging process control
- Action
- Ortho Development notified all affected consignees/distributors of the recall via email on July 11, 2014 which included a list of the affected product (part numbers, lot numbers and quantities) under their control.
