Description

Stanmore modular hip system; Stanmore CoCr femoral size 3 std. stem; part 164243

Reason

The labeling does not instruct the removal of the protective shipping cap, and one surgeon implanted with the cap still in place.

Action

Distributors were sent a letter on June 18, 2003 via FedEx. This mailing contained labels and the distributors were instructed to affix the label to the inventory consigned to hospitals within their territory.
