Mislabeled: Packaging incorrectly reflects a MobileLink Dual Mobility insert type F when it should reference G may cause a delay in surgery
Mislabeled: Angle and height of the device marked as L(large) corresponds to the small/medium dimensions due to a product mix-up. This may result in too little bone material resected and not fit correctly leading to extended surgery time
Product is labeled with incorrect offset.
A crack in the weld of the rasp handle may lead to a fracture of the frontal sleeve when the rasp is further impacted or extracted. The rasp remains intact. The rasp would need to be pulled out by a clamp leading to a prolongation of surgery or modified surgery

The reaming guide and the guide rod can't be screwed into the intended depth. The reason for this is a reduced depth of the core hole in the stem. A reaming guide that is not screwed in completely may lead to a proximal preparation in the depth that is not sufficient and to a neck that can't be positioned correctly. The correct fit of the neck can't be verified by means of the guide rod.
