Encore Medical, LP is recalling approximately 2,720 DJO Surgical AltiVate reverse glenoid reamer components and tray kits. The affected instruments include reamer heads, boss drills, sleeves, and shoulder prosthesis tray kits used during surgical procedures. The recall was initiated because the reamer tools may kick or bind up immediately prior to or during use, which could interfere with shoulder replacement surgeries. Healthcare facilities should stop using these devices and contact the manufacturer or their distributor to arrange for a return or replacement.
If the reamer binds or jerks during surgery, it could cause unintended movement of the instrument, potentially leading to bone damage or surgical delays.
