    • Terminated Z-0723-2021 FDA Class II initiated 1 Dec 2020

    Incorrect bolt -tibial bolts in package instead of femoral bolts may delay procedure

  • 2 recalls, same reason

    • Terminated Z-3249-2018 FDA Class II initiated 2 Aug 2018
    • Terminated Z-3250-2018 FDA Class II initiated 2 Aug 2018

    The implant only has one bolt in the sterile package but it should have had two.

    • Terminated Z-0003-2017 FDA Class II initiated 8 Aug 2016

    The drill bit used to drill the hex pre-drilled hole in the screw head of the Tibial Augment Bolts included in the Vanguard 360 Revision Knee System was larger than allowable per the process specification. As a result, the hex geometry can still be visible, but there are radial cuts into the hex flat. Therefore, when the bolt is inserted into the augment, the screwdriver is unable to catch on the hex geometry, or the screwdriver strips the remaining hex geometry, and the bolt is unable to be fully tightened. The bolt stripping or the bolt not being fully tightened will be noticed by the surgeon intraoperatively when he or she is unable to screw the augment bolts into the augment. This possible event can result in an intraoperative delay resulting in increased time under anesthesia.

    • Terminated Z-2242-2014 FDA Class II initiated 1 Jul 2014

    The Vanguard 360 Femoral Boss Reamers were manufactured oversized to the print. The instrument may not fit into the mating component.
