Why it was recalled

Zimmer Biomet is conducting a lot specific medical device recall for two lots of the Orthopedic Salvage System (OSS) and the Comprehensive Shoulder System. The investigation determined that the Mini Humeral Stem is potentially labeled as the Bowed IM Stem lot. The associated risk of this product issue is a potential extension of surgery <30 minutes if a replacement is readily available.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
