- Company Name: Synthes GmbH
- Publication Date: 2013-06-17

- Summary: This National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) document details a voluntary product recall initiated by Synthes GmbH, with Johnson & Johnson (Shanghai) Medical Devices Co., Ltd. acting as the responsible unit in China. The recall, published on June 17, 2013, concerns specific bone screws (Registration No.: CFDA (Imported): 3462426). The primary issue identified was incorrect length markings on the outer packaging of the affected bone screws, specifically model numbers 204.860S and 204.920S across multiple batch numbers. According to the regulatory framework overseen by the NMPA, Synthes GmbH reported that this recall is an overseas action and does not impact the Chinese market. Although the product is registered in China, zero units were imported, meaning no products are currently in circulation within the country. Consequently, Johnson & Johnson (Shanghai) Medical Devices Co., Ltd. reported the situation to the State Food and Drug Administration but confirmed no further direct action would be taken by them in China. The NMPA, however, requested that provincial, autonomous region, and municipal food and drug administrations strengthen their supervision and management of similar products to ensure public safety and compliance.
