Reason

Zimmer Biomet is expanding a previous medical device notification, dated October 22, 2018, in order to update the pin placement tables on page 42 and page 45 of the compress and mini compress surgical techniques, respectively, regarding which array to use in the placement of the anti-rotation pins. These updates were made due to the potential for interference between the centering sleeves and anti-rotation drill when using certain spindle and centering sleeve combinations. Additional item numbers are included in the updated notice to users.
