Device Design
ActionDePuy Orthopaedics sent an Urgent Information - Medical Device Correction letter to all affected customers on November 18, 2013. Immediately after initiation on November 18, the company halted initiation with our US distributors and international affiliates because the surgical technique referenced and images from the surgical technique were not correct. No surgeons received the November 18 surgeon letter. The recall was re-initiated on November 20, 2013. The communication to the surgeons who used the affected devices will be delivered by Distributors either by mail or in person and includes the surgeon letter. The device correction includes awareness, reiteration of surgical techniques and instrument care, and visual check of the device as outlined in the Field Notice and Surgeon letter. The devices are not being removed from the market, but the company is investigating potential design changes to the HP M.B.T. Keel Punch Knee Instrument to reduce the potential for the tabs to fracture. All DePuy United States Distributors and DePuy affiliate contacts for Canada, Latin America and International will be notified via email. The US Distributors will identify surgeons who use the affected instruments on Distributor Response Card #1. The US Distributor will notify surgeons either by mail or in person with the written communication. Once all device correction activities are complete, the US Distributor will complete and return Distributor Card #2 to DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. The US distributors are the US consignees and are responsible for notifying all new HP M.B.T. Keel Punch Knee Instrument surgeon users of this device correction. All territories are required to ensure the HP M.B.T. Keel Punch Knee Instrument Device Correction is promptly initiated. Customers were asked to review the instructions included, along with the attached documents, which contain important information regarding notification of surgeons affected by this Device Correction.
