Zimmer Surgical Cement Recall, ANSM Safety Notice

ANSM recorded a lot withdrawal action initiated by Zimmer, Inc. for surgical orthopedic cement products distributed to hospital pharmacies (pharmacies d'usage intérieur). The recall is logged under reference R2611180. Hospital pharmacies that received Zimmer surgical cement products should verify whether affected lots were distributed to their facility and contact Zimmer directly for return or disposal instructions. ANSM has not published lot numbers or clinical impact data in this notice, so facilities may need to request the attached firm letter for specifics.

Healthcare institutions and procurement departments managing orthopedic surgical supplies should confirm their inventory against any lot codes provided in the Zimmer correspondence. Since the recall action originates from the manufacturer rather than a regulatory mandate, the scope of affected products depends on which specific lots Zimmer identified.
