The device product labeling adequately displays the expiration date assigned to the device on the packaging.The ifu associated with the device states, "both inner and out packaging, including seals, should be thoroughly inspected prior to implantation." medical device expiration date management by the distributor and the surgical facility contributed to this product complaint.There has been one other complaint of similar nature for a device from this product line being implanted beyond expiration in the past 12 months.The manufacturer will continue to monitor the field for reports of implants utilized beyond the documented expiration date.
