Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 This recall was initiated after it was discovered that the NobelReplace Tapered Groovy RP 4.3x10mm, REF 32216 Lot#403504 has an incorrect cap label. The affected lot has a cap label identifying the implant as "4.3x8". Since this cap label may be the only means used for identifying the implant prior to surgery, it is possible that a user would try to use the 10mm implant as an 8mm implant.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Labeling mix-ups
