Approved by the FDA in 2007, the Zimmer M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis with Kinectiv Technology is a hip replacement system. Manufactured by Zimmer Inc., the device is composed of modular stem and neck components designed to alleviate the leg length, joint stability, and range of motion challenges that tend to develop during hip replacement surgery. The technology gives the surgeon a wide range of sizes to choose from, so he or she can match the device to the patient’s unique body. However, in 2015 Zimmer issued a recall of this system.
It was classified as a Class I recall by the FDA, which is the most serious kind of recall and is only used in situations where there is a reasonable probability that using the device will cause serious health consequences or death. The recall was issued because manufacturing residue was found to be left on the distributed product, which can cause serious problems including:
- Allergic reactions
- Infections
- Death
