- Action
- On February 10, 2014, Zimmer sent letter to surgeons who had filed complaints regarding the affected TASP fractures. The letter provided the surgeons with Zimmer's investigational findings of the issue. Surgeons were directed to send questions or any additional informtion to Zimmer.PER@Zimmer.com. The Zimmer Weekly Wrap-Up, dated February 14, 2014, was issued electronically to sales force. They were notified to engage in mandatory training to improve the usage of the TASPs and prevent potential breakage. Zimmer has taken additional corrective measures by initiating another recall in July 2014 whereby they notify the distributors as well as all users of the enhanced surgical technique.
