Zimmer Biomet recalls periarticular tibial plates made before January 2014 due to risk of non-polished implants adhering to LDPE packaging. Affected items have specific model numbers. No action is required but check your product.
Non-highly polished implants may adhere to the LDPE bag (previous packaging configuration).
Zimmer Biomet is recalling periarticular tibial plates made before January 2014 because non-highly polished implants might stick to the plastic packaging. This could cause issues during surgery or implant use, but no immediate action is needed.
Non-highly polished implants may stick to the LDPE (plastic) packaging used in the original packaging. This could cause the implant to become dislodged or improperly positioned during surgery, potentially leading to complications.
Patients who received periarticular tibial plates made before January 2014 are likely affected. Surgeons and medical staff using these specific models during procedures are at higher risk.
Check if your periarticular tibial plate has model numbers starting with 00234700304 through 00234701408 or 00234703500 and 00234703600. Products manufactured before January 2014 are affected.
Look for model numbers starting with 00234700304 through 00234701408 or 00234703500 and 00234703600 on the plate.
No action is required. The recall is for information only; the implants are safe to use as long as they were properly installed.
