A Class I recall is the highest level of recall according to the FDA\u2019s regulations. This class of recall is used in situations in which\u00a0there is a reasonable probability that using the subject product or exposure to the subject product will cause adverse health consequences or even death. Zimmer Biomet initiated the recall after reports indicated that the CRS device fractures at a higher rate than indicated on the label.<\/p>\n<p>The CRS device is a shoulder replacement mechanism that is implanted into eligible patients, and it is designed with the intention of restoring arm movement. Some of the most common patients who have received the CRS device in a surgical procedure are patients who experience a tear in their rotator cuff and who experience severe arthritis in their shoulder as a result. This level of arthritis is commonly referred to as arthropathy. The patients have also typically experienced a failed shoulder joint replacement procedure prior to receiving the CRS implant.<\/p>\n<p>According to the recall announcement, physicians who have used the CRS device in shoulder replacement procedures are affected. The announcement encourages them to review the safety notice and other associated information regarding the CRS device, identify any remaining devices that have not yet been used in surgical procedures, and contact any patients who received the CRS device in a surgical procedure. Patients who received or believe they have received the CRS device should consult their physician immediately. Devices subject to the recall were manufactured between August 25, 2008 and September 27, 2011.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/zimmer-biomet-initiates-recall-comprehensive-reverse-shoulder-system-device-due-fracturing\/#more-1409\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a Class I recall for the Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder System, Model 115340 (\u201cCRS\u201d).
