Specific lots are being recalled due to the potential for the tabs to break, leaving fragments in the patient.
On February 25, 2013, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. issued a device correction for the specific lots of the RECLAIM Distal Reamer Extension impacted by this recall. The letter stated the reason for the recall and swap out. A subsequent letter outlined a formal swap-out process of the affected reamer extensions as part of the device correction strategy. Newly designed devices are now available. Questions about device swap-out information may be directed to Kim Earle, Recall Coordinator, 574-371-4917; and Surgeon questions may be directed to DePuy's Scientific Information Office at 1-888-554-2482.
