Reason for recall

DePuy Orthopaedics has identified the potential for holes to develop in the inner and outer flexible pouches that form the sterile barrier for S-ROM Noiles Rotating Hinge Femur with Pin devices. The outer carton and shrink wrap are intact. A package redesign is underway to resolve this issue. S-ROM Noiles Rotating Hinge Femur with Pin devices will remain in US Distributors inventory during the pa

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
