2015 ConforMIS Knee Recall

ConforMIS knee implant systems are delivered to hospitals with a complete set of pre-sterilized instrumentation that has been customized for each patient using CT scan data. In August 2015, ConforMIS recalled 900 of these customized sets after it had received three reports of moisture on the instrumentation. The company was seeking the return of about 300 unused knee replacement product systems that had not yet been used in patients, as the remaining 650 had already been implanted. Read More

ConforMIS ITotal G2 Lawsuit

In October 2014, ConforMIS was named in a lawsuit filed on behalf of a 65-year-old woman who allegedly sustained serious and debilitating injuries due to two defective iTotal G2 knee replacements. The devices were implanted in October 2012 and April 2013, but had to be removed in December 2013 due to excruciating pain and limited flexibility. During her revision surgery, the plaintiff’s doctor discovered that the plastic spacer in the right knee had dislocated, turned and twisted up into her femur. In her left knee, the tibial tray had also loosened and caused bone damage.

The complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, points out that between January 2011 and March 2014, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) received 30 adverse event reports involving the iTotal G2 knee . All of these reports described loose spacers or tibial trays. In April 2013, ConforMIS asked the FDA to approve design modifications to the iTotal G2 knee replacement, which the plaintiff asserts were intended to fix the problem with loose components.
