The black residue is a combination of the titanium plasma spray used to create the porous surface of the implant and polyethylene bag containing the implant. The recalling firm states the residue is biocompatible. Risks include delay of surgery while locating a replacement device, and surgical intervention due to wear caused by debris.

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.
