Product

ReClaim Reamer Extension; Product code 2975-00-500, used with Reclaim Modular Revision Hip Prosthesis System. The ReClaim Reamer Extension is as an attachment to the distal reamers to allow the surgeon to clear soft tissue while reaming the distal femoral canal.

Reason for recall

The tabs on the reamer extension device have broken. DePuy is notifying surgeons of the issue to increase the awareness and to ask surgeons and users to look for tabs before and after surgery to reduce any potential that the tabs are left in the patient. Once the root cause is determined and a design change is implemented, DePuy will conduct a formal swap-out of the affected devices.
