Recommended Action

Per FDA guidance

A Recall Notice, dated July 15, 2009, was sent to owners of the RIO system (hospital OR staff) with a signed acknowledgement returned to MAKO. Surgeons using the RIO system during the recall time period, regardless of whether their system has already been upgraded, are given the notification letter and asked to sign and return the acknowledgement memo. The letter stated that customers' RIO will be upgraded to replace the potentially faulty cable with a new cable. Their MAKOplasty Specialist (MPS) will notify them when their system was scheduled to have their fiber optic cable upgrade. The upgrade will be installed by a Field Service Engineer (FSE) free of charge and the RIO will be completely tested prior to being returned to service. Customers should direct questions or concerns to their MPS, FSE, or Jim Pomeroy, who can be reached at 954-927-2044.
