Action: On July 17, 2008, the physician who implanted the device received a phone call from AMS to discuss the event and be sure he understands what went wrong (Ultrex cylinders implanted instead of CX) and any new risks introduced to his patient so he can properly assess any impact it may have. A follow up letter " AMS Important Product Recall" dated July 21, 2008 was also sent to document the event and the call. The letter requested to return of the "Recall Acknowledgement Form". The second physician (tried not used) has already returned the device and will not receive further communication. A complaint was assigned to document the event.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
