    • Terminated Z-0938-2019 FDA Class II initiated 21 Dec 2018

    Vanguard Knee System Series-A Standard Patella a potential commingle that could result in the size of the implant not matching the size on the label.

    • Terminated Z-2289-2018 FDA Class II initiated 24 May 2018

    Two lots of tibial bearings were commingled. There is a possibility that a 14mm tibial bearing is packaged in a box labeled as 12 mm tibial bearing and vice versa. This may lead to extension of surgery to find another implant.

    • Terminated Z-2177-2018 FDA Class II initiated 18 May 2018

    One lot of 75mm tibial tray is potentially etched and labeled as a 79 mm tibial tray. This may lead to delay in surgery, or immediate revision surgery to remove an incorrectly sized tibial component after it has been cemented.

    • Terminated Z-2183-2018 FDA Class II initiated 11 May 2018

    The label master file was errantly set up as a 63/37mm instead of a 63/67mm. There is no 63/37 size offered, and the product is laser marked with the correct size.
