Two lots of hip implants are mislabeled.
Zimmer Biomet is recalling two specific lots of hip implants because they are mislabeled. This could lead to incorrect surgical procedures if the wrong implant is used. Affected individuals should verify their implant details against the listed part numbers and lot codes.
The hip implants are mislabeled, meaning the part numbers and lot codes on the implants do not match the actual product. This could result in the wrong implant being used during surgery, potentially causing complications.
Individuals who received hip implants from the specified part numbers and lot codes are affected. Patients with these implants are most at risk of receiving the wrong implant during surgery.
Check your implant's part number and lot code against the listed identifiers: Part Number 00-7864-013-00 (Lot 63703649) or Part Number 00-7864-013-20 (Lot 63703681).
Compare your implant's part number and lot code with the provided identifiers: 00-7864-013-00 (Lot 63703649) or 00-7864-013-20 (Lot 63703681).
The recall is due to mislabeling, not inherent danger. If used correctly, the implants are safe, but the mislabeling could lead to incorrect surgical procedures.
Check your implant's part number and lot code against the provided identifiers: 00-7864-013-00 (Lot 63703649) or 00-7864-013-20 (Lot 63703681).
The recall does not require returning the implants. Affected individuals should verify their implant details and consult their surgeon.
