Why it was recalled

Zimmer is recalling sterile-packaged implants and instruments packaged in six different package configurations due to packaging design verification test failures. Specifically, multiple test samples from each of the six configurations failed simulated distribution and shipping testing when the devices either breached inner or outer package trays or seal integrity was lost.

Root cause (FDA determination)

Package design/selection
