What the company is doing

On November 14, 2022, the firm sent an Instrument care reminder to field reps, which included an Instrument handling and care reminder. The firm sent additional letters and emails to affected consignees starting January 17, 2023. Consignees were instructed to inspect their inventory for product from the affected lot. Immediately cease use of affected product and contact customer service if a field representative has not already reached out to you. Conformis will have a field representative come onsite to inspect, apply Loctite, and review techniques for inspecting the instrument. Customers were informed they may continue to use impactor handles from other lots. However, they should ensure they are properly connecting the impactor handle to the keel punch (Refer to surgical technique guide).
