Summary

Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG (Mfg Site) has recalled 109 units of its Modular Stem cylindrical Tilastan press-fit cementless implants. The recall includes 80 mm length stems in 11 mm, 12 mm, and 13 mm diameters. These products were recalled because the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) on the outer carton label is incorrect and belongs to a different product. No injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with this labeling error.

Risk

The incorrect barcode and labeling on the outer packaging could lead a surgical team to select or prepare the wrong size or type of implant for a patient. This mismatch may result in surgical delays or medical complications if the incorrect part is used or needs to be swapped during a procedure.
