Issue
Smith & Nephew, Inc., has initiated a field action to voluntarily remove two batches of K-Wires due to a packaging error. A complaint was received indicating that a package contained K-WIRE .062X9 2PT DM wires instead of K-WIRE .045X9 2PT DM as described on the product label. It is likely that there is a partial batch swap between a batch of .062X9 2PT DM and .045X9 2PT DM K-WIRES.
