Why it was recalled

Zimmer had received complaints that reported breakage of the Persona Knee Trial Articular Surface Provisionals (TASPs). This is a retrospective recall which covers Zimmer's corrective actions taken earlier this year concerning the TASPs.

FDA root cause category: Device Design

What the company is doing

On February 10, 2014, Zimmer sent letter to surgeons who had filed complaints regarding the affected TASP fractures. The letter provided the surgeons with Zimmer's investigational findings of the issue. Surgeons were directed to send questions or any additional informtion to [email protected]. The Zimmer Weekly Wrap-Up, dated February 14, 2014, was issued electronically to sales force. They were notified to engage in mandatory training to improve the usage of the TASPs and prevent potential breakage. Zimmer has taken additional corrective measures by initiating another recall in July 2014 whereby they notify the distributors as well as all users of the enhanced surgical technique.
