Biomet recalls specific Arcos Modular Revision Hip System components due to potential chatter and corrosion risks. Affected units may require surgical intervention if device fails in the body.
Arcos Proximal Cone Bodies could potentially exhibit chatter in the inner taper fretting corrosion and device failure in vivo leading to surgical intervention
Biomet is recalling certain Arcos Modular Revision Hip System components because they could cause chatter and corrosion, potentially leading to surgery. This is a serious issue for patients who have received these specific hip implants.
The recalled hip components could develop chatter and corrosion in the inner taper, which might cause the device to fail inside the body. This failure could require additional surgery to fix the problem.
Patients who received the recalled Arcos Modular Revision Hip System components (specifically the Prox Body, Size A, 60 MM) are most at risk. Medical professionals who use these implants during surgery may also be affected.
Check if your hip implant has the model name 'Arcos Modular Revision Hip System High Offset Cone Prox Body', size A, 60 MM, and item number 11-301:311. Lot numbers include 678930, 880200, and other specific codes listed in the recall notice.
Review your hip implant's model, size, and item number to see if it matches the recalled components.
The recall does not require immediate discontinuation; however, you should check if your implant matches the recalled model and contact your surgeon for guidance.
Contact your surgeon to discuss potential surgical intervention if the device fails, as the recall indicates a risk of device failure requiring additional surgery.
Check your implant's model, size, and item number against the specific details listed in the recall notice: Arcos Modular Revision Hip System High Offset Cone Prox Body, Size A, 60 MM, item number 11-301311.
