    Medtech would like to inform you of the planned removal of all ROSA 2.5 devices from the US market by 31st October 2018. The ROSA 2.5 design has been superseded by a newer generation product, ROSA Brain 3.0, and a decision has been made by Zimmer Biomet to exchange all ROSA 2.5 devices in the US market with ROSA Brain 3.0 devices. This decision has been taken in response to a regulatory clearance compliance issue, and there is no safety concern associated with this action. No specific action is required and the ROSA 2.5 can continue to be used at this time. A Medtech representative will be in contact to schedule the exchange of the RO 15 061 device with a ROSA Brain 3.0 device. For further questions, please call (574) 371-3071.
