Specific GXL acetabular polyethylene liners, packaged in non-conforming bags, may adversely impact the device and contribute to accelerated wear.
Exactech is recalling certain GXL acetabular hip implant liners that were packaged in non-conforming bags. This packaging issue may cause the liners to wear out faster than intended, potentially affecting the long-term success of the hip replacement surgery.
The liners were packaged in non-conforming bags that may cause accelerated wear over time. This could lead to earlier failure of the hip implant, requiring additional surgery to replace the liner.
Orthopedic surgeons and patients who have received the specific GXL acetabular liners with the listed product line numbers and serial numbers are affected. The risk is primarily for those who have already implanted these liners in hip replacements.
Check if your hip implant liner has a product line number starting with 'a. 0 DEG ACUMATCH CONSTRAINED LINER' or 'O DEG ACUMATCH CONSTRAINED LINER' with the listed sizes and serial numbers provided in the recall notice.
Verify your liner's product line number and serial number against the list provided in the recall notice to confirm if it is affected.
The recall states that the liners may contribute to accelerated wear, but they are not immediately unsafe. Affected units should be checked and replaced if necessary.
Check the product line number and serial number against the specific list of affected models and serial numbers provided in the recall notice.
The recall does not require immediate replacement; affected units should be checked and replaced if they are part of the affected list.
