Encore Medical, LP — EMPOWR Acetabular System: Liner, 10 degree Hooded, HXe+, 36H, REF: 942-01-36H; Liner, 10 degree Hooded, HXe+, 36J, REF: 942-01-36J; Liner, 10 degree Hooded, HXe+, 40G, REF: 942-0

⚠️ 942-01-40G acetabular system package was found to contain 942-01-36H acetabular system; and several other acetabular system and knee insert devices may also have a packaging discrepancy, which may cause surgical delay to exchange devices or revision surgery.

Is this relevant to me?
