Reason/Issue In order to comply with the new European regulation MDR 2017/745, Evolutis MA Australia Pty Ltd is notifying of new updates to weight limitations and removal of some weight restrictions for multiple STEMSYS and HACTIV Femoral Stems.

The manufacturer updated the label of those devices as a precautionary measure, and not because of a safety problem with the implants.

Hazard could occur when at least 2 of the conditions of error of dimensioning, orientation and implantation are combined during the installation of the implant.
