Reason for recall
The recall of the Loaner Bin and Sterilization Trays for implants and instruments was initiated by Orthopedic Alliance because the directions for use and surgical techniques were not being provided to every physician and for every surgery.
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.
