Event Description

Additional information was received and stated the following: to clarify, and perhaps alert you to a manufacturing issue, the brown spots on the implant were present at the time of removal from the sterile packaging and therefore are not dried blood, unless you have blood contamination during manufacturing.I personally remove all implants from the inner packaging and never touch the ha-coated surface, only the trunnion.Upon removing the implant from the packaging, it was immediately noticed and passed off away from the sterile field.I have personally witnessed this on several actis stems, and believe i requested at least two of these to be returned for evaluation.Again, at no point was there contamination or exposure of the implant to the patient's bodily fluids and the spots were present on removal from sterile packaging.
