Reason for recall

Orthopedic Alliance is recalling Blue & Gold Implants and Instruments because the Blue & Gold system is not supported by adequate testing and documentation to demonstrate that it meets performance or safety standards. These inadequacies might result in product peformance failures that could cause patient harm due to implant breakage, loosening, or inadequate sterilization.
