Issue

Zimmer Biomet is conducting a medical device recall removal for various sizes of the Intramedullary Bone Sawblade Assembly due to potential sterile barrier packaging damaged caused by the exposed saw blade. It was identified internally that the tip protector was incorrectly placed on the blunt end of the device instead of the sawblade, leaving the saw blade exposed. The exposed saw blade has potential to damage the sterile barrier pouch, which has potential to result in loss of sterility. There have been zero complaints received.
