Reason for Recall

The black residue is a combination of the titanium plasma spray used to create the porous surface of the implant and polyethylene bag containing the implant. The recalling firm states the residue is biocompatible. Risks include delay of surgery while locating a replacement device, and surgical intervention due to wear caused by debris.
