Description
Turon Impaction Fixture
Reason
During the Turon assembly, the impaction forces caused the polymer, black acetal copolymer from the Impaction Fixture to wear off on the lateral surface of the Humeral Stem titanium plasma spray coating.
Action
There are two field safety notices, one for Consignees who have surgeons that use the impaction fixtures (Verson 1) and one for Consignees who had previously indicated their surgeons do NOT use the impaction fixtures (Verson 2). The two recall notification letters were sent out on 2/9/17.
