  • Reason
    Zimmer biomet received reports that during assembly, an srs humeral distal body implant failed to engage correctly at the point of reduction with a discovery elbow system humeral condyle. a mismatch occurred between the screw holes in the distal humeral body & the discovery elbow condyle implant during vendor machine operation. the condition would be noticed during assembly and therefore, if the product has already been implanted, no further action is required. the mismatch does not always prevent engagement of the screw, based on complaints received it is estimated to prevent engagement of the screw in less than 1% of cases.
