Reason

Zimmer is initiating a recall of four (4) lots of various configurations of the Versys Beaded Fullcoat Stems in Canada because the devices could be composed of nonconforming material. The raw material supplier commingled low-carbon cobalt-chrome alloy into one specific heat treated lot of high-carbon cobalt-chrome alloy. These beaded hip stem forgings did not meet material requirements.
