- Reason for recall
- Ortho Development is recalling various Pivot Bipolar Cup, Patella, PS Tibial Insert, UC Tibila Insert, and CK Tibil Insert because the foil pouches did not properly seal, allowing air to seep back into the pouch after sealing which increases the risk that the material properties of the implant would be substantially degraded due to oxidation.

An RMA number and return shipping label were also included with the email. Emails were followed up with phone calls to verify receipt of the notification.
