What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of an orthopedic implant with a critical labeling error that could result in implantation of an incorrectly sized prosthetic. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but mismatched prosthetic sizing poses significant risk of harm including improper joint function and potential revision surgery.

Plain-English summary

Corin Ltd is recalling BIOLOX DELTA MOD HEAD ceramic prosthetics, size 36mm extra long with 8mm offset (REF 104.3615, Lot 503151), due to a labeling error. Specifically, units labeled as size 32XL are actually size 36XL, and units labeled as size 36XL are actually size 32XL.

The 12 recalled units were distributed nationwide to medical facilities in Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The labeling error could result in implantation of an incorrectly sized prosthetic head, potentially affecting surgical outcomes and requiring revision procedures.

Patients who have received these prosthetics should contact their surgeon or healthcare provider to confirm that the correct size was implanted. Corin Ltd has notified affected distributors and healthcare facilities of the recall.
