Reason/Issue Stryker has received reports of two potential issues related to the Offset Cup Reamer Handle. The weld on the U-joint of the Handle may become damaged over time, potentially causing the pin or pieces of the pin to fall into the wound. If that occurs, and the surgery proceeds with reaming, the pin or pieces of the pin may fall into the wound, which may be removed if visible or may be left in the wound. The handle also may not fully engage with the registration array and/or Reamer Basket. If that occurs, the surgery may proceed using a backup offset reamer handle, a straight reamer handle or manual instrumentation.
