Variable Angle Locking Peg, D:1.8mm x L:14.0mm; Variable Angle Locking Peg, D:1.8mm x L:16.0mm, Variable Angle Locking Peg, D:1.8mm x L:18.0mm; Variable Angle Locking Peg, D:1.8mm x L:20.0mm; Variable Angle Locking Peg, D:1.8mm x L:22.0mm, Variable Angle Locking Peg, D:1.8mm x L:24.0mm; Variable Angle Locking Peg, D:1.8mm x L:26.0mm. The locking pegs are intended to be used in conjunction with the Flower Orthopedics Distal Radius Plate for osteosynthesis of the radius bone.

Locking pegs were not locking during distal radius procedures. There has been one (1) report of revision surgery scheduled to remove a loosened peg.

On February 16, 2015, Flower Orthopedics generated and distributed a field memo/advisory notice (FOCMB-15-02) to all distributors with locking peg inventory on February 6, 2015. The field memo provided technique guidance to end users. All 12 consignees with remaining inventory (ie.not reported as used) were contacted directly via phone and all have agreed to ship the locking pegs back to Flower Orthopedics. Flower Orthopedics determined that a generic statement to all customers was not necessary for the following reasons detailed above and summarized again here: product was distributed only through direct channels, the health hazard evaluation has determined there is a very low risk to health, and all consignees have been directly contacted already and product inventory is being returned.
