This FDA Devices action (record #Z-1141-2016) was formally reported on March 23, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on January 11, 2016. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Zimmer Manufacturing B.V. is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Mercedita, PR.

The documented reason for this recall is: As a result of the insufficient sealer calibration data for product packaged in firm's Building II between August 2010 and April 2013. The affected products are sterile. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: US Nationwide Distribution. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.
To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 10 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
