Orthopaedic Device Recall Dashboard - Orthopaedic Surgery Patient Safety

The Device Recall Dashboard (the “Dashboard”) was developed by the AAOS Committee on Devices, Biologics, and Technology and the Patient Safety Committee (the “Committee”) to assist the AAOS membership in identifying Class 1 and Class 2 device recalls relevant to their orthopaedic practice. The status of the recalls are based on member volunteer stakeholders interpretation of publicly available information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The recalls of these devices on the Device Recall Dashboard reflect the Committees interpretation of the publicly available device database, and do not imply liability of safety, effectiveness, or approval of use by AAOS. Clinicians should use their own, independent medical judgment, in addition to open discussion with the patient, when developing patient care recommendations and device selection.

While the Committee intends to update the Dashboard quarterly, AAOS makes no representations or warranties that the Dashboard contains all relevant device information and/or the most up-to-date status information. Clinicians are encouraged to independently confirm whether a Class 1 or 2 device has been subject to a recall. Use of the Dashboard is subject to applicable AAOS policies, including by not limited to the AAOS Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Orthopaedics makes up the single largest specialty of medical devices and accounts for approximately 20 percent of all recalls issued by the FDA. It is critical that orthopaedic surgeons understand their role in improving patient safety through device surveillance.

The goal of the Device Recall Dashboard is to provide orthopaedic surgeons with timely recall information that will ensure the quality of patient care and protect the health and well-being of their patients.
