Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive Segmental Revision System (SRS). Orthopedic implants for Proximal Humeral Reconstruction, Distal Humeral Reconstruction, and Total Humeral Reconstruction

Product Classification:

Class II

Date Initiated: February 28, 2018

Date Posted: April 4, 2018

Recall Number: Z-1173-2018

Event ID: 79399

Reason for Recall:

During assembly, an SRS Humeral Distal Body implant failed to engage correctly at the point of reduction with a Discovery Elbow System Humeral Condyle. A mismatch between the screw holes in the Humeral Body & Elbow Condyle affects assembly during surgery. If the product has already been implanted, no action is required. The mismatch is estimated to prevent screw engagement in less than 1% of cases.
