Reported risk: Zimmer Biomet is conducting a medical device recall for various Ball Tip Guide Wires and Drill PT Guide Wires due to insufficient packaging design verification and exceeding the expected occurrence rate of complaints for sterile barrier failure. Guide Wires packaged in the affected packaging configuration have the potential for sterile barrier breach, leading to possible risk for infection. Products with an expiration date prior to May 31, 2028 were packaged in the affected packaging configuration and are subject to this recall. Future production of these products will use a new packaging configuration.
