A. DELTA XTEND REVERSE SHOULDER SYSTEM -MODULAR CEMENTED EPIPHYSIS
B. DELTA XTEND REVERSE SHOULDER SYSTEM - MODULAR ECCENTRIC EPIPHYSIS

Reason

DePuy Synthes is initiating a voluntary recall.  For the recalled lots, an investigation determined that lots produced in a specific machine were manufactured in a manner in which the post's diameter is out-of-specification. Further investigation, determined that the issue is related to the circularity of the cylinder. The circularity issue may cause the epiphysis to interfere with the stem and the two implants (epiphysis and stem) may not be able to be assembled.
