The G-PIN 2.8BL 3.2PL 60 CM 2PK is intended to contain one (1) 467265-01 Ball Tip Guide Pin and one (1) 467255-02 Plain Tip Guide Pin. The G-PIN 2.8BL 3.2PL 60 CM 2PK may have been packaged incorrectly either with two (2) 467265-01 Ball Tip Guide Pins and zero (0) 467255-02 Plain Tip Guide Pins or with zero (0) 467265-01 Ball Tip Guide Pins and two (2) 467255-02 Plain Tip Guide Pins. If the G-PIN 2.8BL 3.2PL 60 CM 2PK contains the incorrect combination of Plain Tip Guide Pins and Ball Tip Guide Pins, the surgeon would either have to implant the nail without the Plain Tip Guide Pin as a guide, ream with a Plain Tip Guide Pin, or choose to not ream the humeral canal. The risk associated with not having the correct combination can include a delay in surgery of less than 30 minutes, the reamer tip remaining in the distal humeral canal, or an iatrogenic fracture.

Old revisions and new revisions of the soft tissue sleeve and recon targeting arm are not interchangeable, as the new revision tissue sleeve will not fit into the old revision targeting arm. The old revision tissue sleeve has too much clearance with new revision targeting arm. Risks of encountering the affected product include: the correct instrument may not be readily available for the procedure causing the surgeon to complete the procedure by hand; or a delay in surgery greater than 30 minutes may occur while another Recon Targeting Arm or Recon Soft tissue Sleeve is located or while the surgeon completes the procedure by hand.

Class I - Dangerous

The drill bit used to drill the hex pre-drilled hole in the screw head of the Tibial Augment Bolts included in the Vanguard 360 Revision Knee System was larger than allowable per the process specification. As a result, the hex geometry can still be visible, but there are radial cuts into the hex flat. Therefore, when the bolt is inserted into the augment, the screwdriver is unable to catch on the hex geometry, or the screwdriver strips the remaining hex geometry, and the bolt is unable to be fully tightened. The bolt stripping or the bolt not being fully tightened will be noticed by the surgeon intraoperatively when he or she is unable to screw the augment bolts into the augment. This possible event can result in an intraoperative delay resulting in increased time under anesthesia.
