  • Notes supplémentaires dans les données
  • Cause
    Inappropriate mixing of head and cup sizes due to incorrect labelling of the cups. the need for early revision due to loose joint fit as a result of mislabelled cups. some acetabular cups manufactured by finsbury orthopaedics have been labelled with the wrong cup diameter. the manufacturer recalled affected products in august 2007 (see mhra website for field safety notice). the manufacturer has provided mhra with a list of uk affected products (see appendix). affected products were distributed to uk hospitals between 17/11/2006 and 19/02/2007.
  • Action
    Identify and quarantine any unimplanted affected devices (see appendix). DO NOT implant affected devices. Return affected devices to the manufacturer. Review the post operative X-rays of these patients to identify size mismatch of head and cup. In patients with mismatched devices: consider the need for implant revision where implants are not being revised, consider measuring serial serum cobalt and chromium levels to monitor implant wear over time if monitoring reveals these levels are increasing, re-consider the need for implant revision. Set up systems to report all revisions with these incorrectly labelled cups to the implant manufacturer and the MHRA.
