Orthofix is recalling certain external fixators due to incorrect labeling that might cause confusion in use. This could lead to improper application if users mix up model numbers.
Incorrect labeling could lead to users applying the wrong model of fixator, which might not fit properly or function as intended. This could cause improper treatment or complications during healing.
Orthopedic patients using these fixators are most at risk if they have the incorrect model labeled on their device. Healthcare providers who apply the fixators may also be affected.
Check the model number on your fixator. The affected models include M101, M103, M111, and M122. All units were sold with the GTIN# 18032568866681.
