Reason/Issue There is the potential that the affected lot of the SynReam Flexible Shaft may have been manufactured with a non-symmetric hexagonal coupling which may result in the reamer shaft not fitting into the reamer heads. In the event that the Flexible Shaft cannot be assembled with the Reamer Head, surgical delay may occur if another device is not available in the surgical suite.
