    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.

    • Terminated Z-1219-2017 FDA Class II initiated 15 Dec 2016

    Zimmer Biomet is conducting a medical device recall for ARCOS & TPRLC broaches and rasps due to potential alumina inclusions in the raw material batch used to produce the affected products.

    • Terminated Z-1756-2015 FDA Class III initiated 16 Apr 2015

    Biomet hip joint, knee joint and shoulder joint replacement components device labeling contains incorrect GTIN (Global Trade Identification Number) codes.

    • Terminated Z-0533-2013 FDA Class II initiated 15 Nov 2012

    Biomet investigation identified that the square end of the offset tibial tray adaptor locking insert is oversized and may not engage insert tool screwdriver. This could cause a possible delay in surgery greater than 30 minutes, potentially exposing the patient to the increased risks from being under anesthesia for a longer duration.

    • Terminated Z-1061-2009 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) initiated 13 Feb 2009 on shared 510(k) K010212
