Zimmer Biomet is conducting a medical device correction to update the Instructions for Use (IFU) and the Surgical Techniques for the Polaris Spinal System Translation Screw and Cypher MIS Screw System. Users should be aware that changes were made to the contraindications section indicating that the Translation Screws should not be used with a direct current stimulation, as a high probability of construct failure exists when using Translation Screws containing CoCr with direct current simulation system.
Sterilant (hydrogen peroxide) used in acetabular cup hip prosthesis component was not evaluated to confirm the biocompatibility of the residual sterilant. Cannot rule out the potential for adverse tissue reactions.
