Howmedica Osteonics
Product manufactured using UHMWPE raw material over 5 years of age has the potential for elevated levels of oxidation. Oxidation within UHMWPE can have an impact on its material properties.
During an internal investigation, ACS identified that several components were "piggybacked" to ACS trays and subjected to the ACS sterilization process. There is no supporting documentation stating the "piggybacked" components were assessed to determine if they were suitable for exposure to elevated temperatures for an extended period of time and further exposure to sterilization. As a result, the piggybacked components may (1) have a loss/lack of functionality, (2) loss of drug efficacy, if applicable, and (3) may have had higher than specified EO residuals.

Knee batteries may need replacement with conforming batteries to ensure there isn't a failure to turn on the device, or an unexpected shutdown, which is a momentary loss of power to the knee where the user may experience loss of support that can lead to a fall and potential injury.
During internal review of Polaris battery assembly data from the HiPot operation, a test systems engineer noticed that some batteries had gone through the High Potential test twice. This was able to occur because the test screen did not prevent retesting after a failure. Some batteries were therefore retested and passed.
A potential for a light system to fall in the operating room.

Mislabeled: Angle and height of the device marked as L(large) corresponds to the small/medium dimensions due to a product mix-up. This may result in too little bone material resected and not fit correctly leading to extended surgery time
The devices contain a dry natural rubber (latex) subcomponent, which are not labeled as containing dry natural rubber(latex).
The software application on the Programmer/Recorder/Monitor (PRM) for Implantable Pulse Generators will display certain diagnostic dates incorrectly, with a year in the 1990s.
