Biomet

Class I - Dangerous

Components of the DVR ePAKs can oxidize during shipment and storage prior to use. A delay in surgery, less than 30 minutes, may occur if the surgical staff proceeds to re-sterilize the product. If oxidative material would flake off a component contained within the ePAK and enter the surgical field/wound an inflammatory reaction may occur. The inflammatory reaction may result in a foreign body reaction and/or metal hypersensitivity. Oxidized components have failed cytotoxicity testing.
