Product Description
REF 623421 L S-ROM Noiles Rotating Hinge, Femoral Rotating Hinge Cemented (with Pin), Left , X-Small, Sterile R Qty 1 The S-ROM Hinged knee femoral component is used in revision surgeries when there is significant bone loss or ligament instability and additional support is needed. S-Rom femorals and inserts are brought into nearly every revision case as backup should the MCL become compromised during the procedure. If additional constraint is required the surgeon can use the S-ROM femoral and insert. S-ROM femorals are used in less than 10% of knee revision procedures, but are present almost all the time.

S-ROM Noiles Rotating Hinge Femur with Pin devices will remain in US Distributors inventory during the pa

Frequently Asked Questions
Sterility recalls for medical devices vary in severity. If you have already had a procedure using a potentially non-sterile device, contact your healthcare provider immediately — you may need monitoring for signs of infection. Symptoms to watch for include fever, redness or swelling at the surgical site, unusual pain, or discharge. For devices that have not yet been used, they should be quarantined and returned to the manufacturer per the recall notice. Non-sterile implants can cause serious infections; early detection and treatment are critical.
Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.
Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.
What Should You Do?
Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
