Howmedica Osteonics Corp. is recalling HRIS Acet Cup Cut Tip sterile surgical instruments used in hip replacement procedures. The recall was initiated because the packaging seals for both the outer and inner pouches failed integrity testing, which may have compromised the sterility of these single-use tools. These instruments were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, and used in surgical settings between 2015 and 2023.
If the sterile barrier of a surgical instrument is compromised, the device may become contaminated with microorganisms, significantly increasing the risk of serious post-operative infections for patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.
