The hazard
Zimmer Biomet is conducting a phased serial specific medical device recall for the Zimmer® Air Dermatome and Zimmer® Dermatome AN handpieces. Multiple complaints have been received related to dermatome devices that were cutting beyond the proper depth. Five complaints have been reported in Canada, they are CMP-0960689, CMP-0969102, CMP-0973010, CMP-0984249 and CMP-0987024. Inspections of the returned complaint devices confirmed that affected devices may have a misaligned thickness control bar. If the device has a misaligned thickness control bar from manufacture, it would be expected to manifest such that any potential negative outcomes would be present upon the first few uses. All devices manufactured between March 2023 and April 2025, that have not been returned for repair or preventive maintenance, are within scope of the recall. The defectiveness was discovered on June 18, 2025. Issue was identified through the complaints handling process.
