Zimmer Biomet recalls ACE Trochanteric Nail System models with specific dimensions due to device performance failure in clinical analysis.
Zimmer Biomet is conducting a medical device recall for the ACE Trochanteric Nail (ATN) system after a Device Performance Review (DPR) failed clinical analysis for survivorship pursuant to the acceptance criteria for the DPR protocol for the ATN system.
Zimmer Biomet is recalling several ACE Trochanteric Nail System models after clinical analysis failed to meet performance criteria. This could affect surgical outcomes if used without correction.
The device performance review failed clinical analysis for survivorship, meaning the nails may not function as intended after surgery. This could lead to complications if the device does not meet required performance standards.
Patients who have undergone hip surgery using these specific nail models are most at risk. The recall targets medical devices used in surgical procedures.
Check for the specific model numbers listed in the recall notice, which include dimensions like 320X9X125, 340X9X125, and other combinations. The product is used in hip surgery.
Reach out to Zimmer Biomet directly for guidance on the recall and next steps.
