  • Causa
    Zimmer is initiating a device correction for the trinica anterior lumbar plate (alp) system case assembly. the ratchet handles part number 07.00438.001 may not be effectively sterilized if left in their designated location(s) in the instrument tray. this is due to the current bracketing in the tray which may interfere with complete steam penetration into the cannulated handle. to assure effective sterilization the ratchet handles must be sterilized external to the instrument tray until newly designed replacement trays are available.
