  • Acción
    Pega Medical sent the Urgent Field Safety Notice-Recall/Advisory Notice letter, dated 2015/02/20, to US consignees (surgeons) via email. The following actions were advised: 1. It is recommended to monitor patients as considered necessary in order to ensure that weight bearing does not take place until full consolidation of the fracture/osteotomy is completed and that weight bearing is applied progressively. 2. Report to the distributor or Pega Medical any adverse event observed. In cases where the consolidation has occurred, normal patient follow up can be continued with no serious consequences to the patient. In cases where consolidation has not been achieved after six weeks, replacement of the nail might be necessary. 3. All surgeons receiving this notice must acknowledge reception by a written confirmation sent to the distributor or to the contact reference person indicated below. US consignees with questions can call Pega Medical at 450-688-5144 ext. 242, or send fax to 450-688-1977, or send email to egarcia@pegamedical.com.
