FDA Determined Cause 2 | Process control |
Action | The recalling firm issued the letters via email to their U.S. agents and OUS on 6/5/2023. The letter explained the reason for recall, risk to health, how to recognize that the device may fail or has failed, the actions being taken by the recalling firm, and the actions to be taken by the customer/user.
Regarding the actions being taken by the recalling firm, the letter reported they have implemented a new revision of the impactor handle to eliminate the cause of this event. Upon receipt of the attached Recall Acknowledgement Form, the recalling firm will provide the consignee with new revision parts to replace the recalled devices the consignee has in their inventory. Additionally, the recalling firm updated the Equinoxe Shoulder Operative Techniques to include the statement "WARNING: Do not assemble or disassemble device in the surgical field." The letter contained the links to the two updated operative techniques.
Actions to be taken by the customer/user included immediately cease distribution or use of the product and quarantine any of the devices in the consignee's inventory or their customer's inventory and return them back to the recalling firm. The consignee was to provide the recall information to their accounts who may have the product in their possession. The enclosed Recall Inventory Response Form was to be completed and returned to the recalling firm via email. The response form is for the consignee to report they have read and understand the instruction, checked their stock and quarantined inventory, as well as indicating the inventory they are returning, and that they have identified and notified their customers who were shipped or may have been shipped this product. |
