Reason for recall
The femoral impactors have a higher than normal risk of the arm breaking. During impaction the tip of the arm may fracture and separate from the instrument. This may cause a minor delay in surgery. If not retrieved, it may cause an inflammatory response that may require revision surgery.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
