Vanguard Knee System PS Tibial Bearing 11 mm 63/67 mm

Reason

Zimmer Biomet is conducting a medical device recall due to a labeling error for specific lots of the Vanguard Knee System. The label master file was errantly set up as a 63/37mm instead of 63/67mm. There is no 63/37 size offered and the product is laser marked with the correct size, 63/67.
