Related Recalls
Synthes received a complaint from a customer in which the Hand Switch for the Electric Pen Drive was not labeled correctly. The "on" and "lock" labels were interchanged.
Certain lots of Trochanteric Fixation Nail were distributed to the field with the incorrect labeling of the length and diameter of the nail on the packaging.
A labeling correction was initiated related to the Surgical Technique Guide J5606-C "TomoFix Osteotomy System" due to the potential for a surgical delay if the surgeon inserts the superior screws at a lesser angle (4 or 6 degrees) and is not aware that those angles are not present.
