Waldemar Link recalls specific modular stem implants due to incorrect outer carton label GTIN causing confusion with other products. Affected units have Product Code 880-601/11 and Lot Numbers 1943294-1943297, 2049174.
A problem was discovered during the scanning process of the outer carton label because of an incorrect GTIN on the label, which is a GTIN for a different product.
Waldemar Link is recalling certain modular stem implants because their outer carton labels have an incorrect GTIN number that matches a different product. This confusion could lead to using the wrong product, but no actual safety risk exists in normal use.
The outer carton label has an incorrect GTIN (a product identification code) that matches a different product. This could cause confusion during ordering or inventory management, but it does not affect the safety or function of the implant itself.
Orthopedic surgeons and medical professionals who use these implants for joint replacements may have received the recalled units. Patients using these implants are not affected since the issue is with the packaging labels, not the product itself.
Check for Product Code 880-601/11 and Lot Numbers 1943294, 1943296, 1943297, or 2049174 on the carton. The product is a modular stem implant used in joint replacements.
Verify the Product Code and Lot Numbers on the outer carton to determine if it's affected.
No, the recall is only about labeling confusion for medical professionals. Patients using these implants are not affected.
Check the carton label for Product Code 880-601/11 and Lot Numbers 1943294-1943297, 2049174. If it matches, contact Waldemar Link for guidance.
