Knee Nozzle

Reason

Following an investigation of a Canadian complaint alleging that the device was improperly assembled, Biomet France determined that devices from lot numbers 0000582617 and 0000568253 were indeed out of specification with regard to assembly. It was found that the knee nozzle was unable to thread onto Optipac tube for cement extraction using the gun.
