Lima Proximal Bodies were inadvertently re-sterilized. The safety screw which affixes the distal and proximal bodies of the stem includes a thread-locking plug made from UHMWPE, which is not approved for repeated gamma sterilization.
During use, there is a potential scenario which could allow the fastening screws attaching covers to come loose and potentially land in the sterile field causing a delay in surgery.
The 6-hole Pubic Symphysis plate (PN 70-0451) is specified to be made of Commercially Pure Titanium (ASTM F67 - CP Grade 4). However, batch 383813 was manufactured out of Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al- 4V ELI per ASTM F135 Ti alloy) and was distributed.
On June 14, 2016, Greatbatch discovered a significant increase in the number of field complaints for the T5766 Offset Reamer Handle in which the U-joints of the drive chain component seizes during orthopedic procedures rendering the device non-functional. The 2016 failure rate for this failure exceeds the occurrence rate as defined in the DFMEA.
Potential safety issue with the patient bore heating on the Discovery MR450 narrow bore 1.5T MRI. In the event of a RF component failure, typically happening after extended system use, a small area on the bore surface may become warmer than normal. If this happens in an area where there is patient contact with the bore, and proper padding is not used, it may cause a serious burn.
Failure of the Offset Cup Reamer Handle not engaging its mating components.
A complaint of the PRO2 jaw breaking prior to surgery being performed.
