| Biomet, Inc. | 510(k) number | 2018-05-18 | Class II | Under Investigation by firm | One lot of 75mm tibial tray is potentially etched and labeled as a 79 mm tibial tray.

| Biomet, Inc. | 510(k) number | 2018-05-11 | Class II | Under Investigation by firm | The label master file was errantly set up as a 63/37mm instead of a 63/67mm. There is no 63/37 size offered, and the product is laser marked with the correct size. | 169 | 2019-11-21 |
