- Summary: The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) issued a document on May 17, 2017, detailing a voluntary recall by Howmedica Osteonics Corp., manufacturer of hip prostheses. The issue, reported by the distributor Stryker (Beijing) Medical Devices Co., Ltd., involves product model 0580-1-440, batch number G6106543, which was found to lack required deep markings. This quality control deficiency prompted the manufacturer to initiate a recall. While the recall falls under NMPA's medical device regulatory framework, the affected products were not imported into or sold within China. The recall primarily impacts markets in Japan, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom. As a result, Stryker (Beijing) Medical Devices Co., Ltd. stated that no further actions beyond reporting to the NMPA would be taken regarding the Chinese market. The NMPA has, however, instructed provincial, autonomous region, and municipal food and drug administrations to strengthen their management and oversight of similar medical devices.
