What this record is not
A recall record is reproduced as FDA published it, and the classification is FDA’s. SPEQ adds no interpretation, and a recall concerns the products and dates in the record — it is not a statement about a company’s other products or its current status.
Affected devices were manufactured with Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) raw material aged in excess of five years. Product has the potential for elevated levels of oxidation, which may result in increased wear, leading to hazards such as excessive wear debris, material fragments, fractured device, or disassociated device. Potential harms include revision surgery, pain, and inflammation.
