What happened, in plain English

Zimmer Biomet is recalling Ultra-Drive Hose/Drape Assembly products with specific lot numbers because the products lack sufficient data to support their 10-year shelf life claim. This means the products might not be safe for use beyond the intended time frame.

Why it’s dangerous

The products do not have enough data to confirm they remain safe and effective for 10 years as labeled. This could lead to potential issues with the product's performance over time, but the hazard is not immediately dangerous.

Who’s affected

Orthopedic surgeons and medical staff who use the Ultra-Drive System for bone and cement procedures may own these products. Those with the listed lot numbers are most at risk.

How to tell if you have this one

Check the lot number on your Ultra-Drive Hose/Drape Assembly. The affected lots are: 221437, 211324, 211638, 212670, 212877, 213350, 213612, 214315, 214545, 214994, 216550, 216610, 217760, 217766, 218921, 219825.
