PINNACLE ACETABULAR CUP SYSTEM

Reason

There is a potential of an out of specification condition (oversized "minor diameter") on certain PINNACLE® CUP devices.  This correction is intended to advise physicians, who use the Apex HE, of the oversize condition of the hole in the cup, which could lead the Apex HE to thread through the shell of the cup without stopping or to protrude internally as a result of "cross-threading". This may occur if the Apex HE is manipulated or toggled while threading it through the hole of certain PINNACLE® CUP.
