Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		DePuy Synthes is initiating a voluntary medical device recall due to Blade/Screw Guide Sleeves (Part # 03.037.017) may have been manufactured with a slightly larger than specified outer diameter which could prevent the sleeve from going through the TFNA aiming arm properly, which may cause surgical delay.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		Nonconforming Material/Component
ActionDePuy Synthes sent an Urgent Notice Medical Device Recall letter to all affected customers. The letter identified the product, the problem, and the action to be taken by the customer. Customers were instructed to conduct functional testing to inspect the instrument to determine if the Guide Sleeve is able to fit through the aiming arm properly. Customers were asked to only return the device if the product does not pass. Customers with questions were instructed to call 610-719-5450 or contact their DePuy Synthes Sales Consultant.
