MicroPort recalls Evolution MP total knee implants for cemented use only after one incident found with wrong part in packaging. Affected units include specific lot numbers and sizes.
One confirmed incident has been received that EFSRN4PR, lot number MP1982170, Size 4 Evolution MP Non-Porous Femoral Right was opened during surgery and contained part number EFSRN3PL, lot number MP1982097, Size 3 Evolution MP Non-Porous Femoral Left in the packaging.
MicroPort is recalling certain Evolution MP total knee replacement implants because one surgery found the wrong part (a smaller size) in the packaging. This could lead to improper implant fitting if used without proper preparation.
During one surgery, a smaller size implant (Size 3) was found inside the packaging of a larger size implant (Size 4). This mix-up could cause improper fitting if the implants are used without proper preparation.
Patients who received the Evolution MP knee implants with lot numbers MP1982097 or MP1982170 are affected. Surgeons and medical facilities using these specific implants are most at risk.
Check for lot numbers MP1982097 or MP1982170 on the packaging. The product is labeled as Evolution MP Femoral CS/CR Non-Porous for cemented use only.

Check the lot numbers on the packaging. If they match MP1982097 or MP1982170, contact MicroPort for further instructions.
