  • Reason
    Global orthopaedic has become aware that certain lots of the global cup poly liner, were manufactured with an internal diameter whose tolerance did not conform to iso 7206-2:2011.According to iso 7206-2, the spherical socket of global cup poly liner, shall have an internal diameter equal to the nominal diameter within a tolerance of +0.10mm to +0.30mm. the affected lots were manufactured with an internal diameter equal to the nominal diameter within a tolerance of +0.02mm to +0.07mm. whilst oversized relative to the nominal diameter of the femoral head, the internal diameters of the product have the potential to alter torque and/or wear rates when articulating against the femoral head, potentially leading to early mechanical loosening or loosening over time due to osteolysis.Post-market surveillance has not indicated any clinical or biomechanical evidence to suggest that they are associated with an increased risk of loosening, lysis or revision.
  • Action
    Global Orthopaedic is informing implanting surgeons to consider the provided information during follow up for relevant patients.
