and surgeons. Since the recall decision was made, DePuy has worked to provide patients and surgeons with
the information and support they need.

case basis.

Dear _________________
I am writing to share important information about your hip replacement implant, the DePuy
ASR™ Hip System. Some patients with the hip implant you received have experienced
problems that require additional care and potentially further treatment. For this reason,
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.(“DePuy”), the maker of your hip, recalled the ASR Hip System and
recommends that patients be evaluated.
Please call my office to schedule an appointment for the evaluation of your hip. During that
appointment, I would like to discuss with you any symptoms/problems you are having, additional
testing that has been recommended and the best plan for ongoing testing and treatment for
you. DePuy will pay for the examination and any medical follow up for the ASR Hip System as
described in the attached Information for Patients sheet. The recall of the ASR Hip does not
necessarily mean you will need to have the implant removed.
The Information for Patients sheet, provided by DePuy, will help to address any questions you
may have about your hip implant, the reason it is being recalled and what you need to do. If you
have any questions regarding the performance of your hip implant, please contact my office. If
you have questions about payment for treatment, please contact DePuy using the phone number
included in the Information for Patients sheet.
Also included with this letter is a Patient Consent Form. Your completion of this form allows me
to share information regarding your hip with DePuy and certain other parties acting on DePuy’s
behalf. DePuy requires this information in order to assess whether you have received one of
the recalled products as well as whether the costs of your medical treatment are eligible for
reimbursement.
Once again, please contact my office as soon as possible to set up a follow up appointment so
that I may address your concerns and discuss the best treatment options for you.
Sincerely,
XXX

Additional Information about the Patient Consent Form
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. (“DePuy”) would like to address potential questions that surgeons and patients may have
concerning the Patient Consent Form or about providing medical information to DePuy related to the ASR Hip
System recall.
ASR Medical Claims/Reimbursement Centre
DePuy has retained a third party, Puri Crawford Insurance Surveyors & Loss Assessors India Pvt. Ltd. (“Puri
Crawford”), to assist with claims assessment and reimbursement processing and the patient information should be
provided directly to Puri Crawford. Puri Crawford’s address and details are included in the Patient Consent Form.
Role of the Patient Consent Form
The Patient Consent Form is intended to allow surgeons or general practitioners to share patients’ information
regarding medical treatment, with DePuy and Puri Crawford (“Companies”). The Companies require this
information in order to confirm whether patients have received one of the ASR hip products as well as whether
patients are eligible for reimbursement of the costs of medical treatment associated with the ASR recall.
It is important to note that the patient does not waive his/her right to pursue legal action by signing the
Patient Consent Form or by providing the medical information to the Companies. In fact, the Patient
Consent Form expressly notifies patients that they will not be waiving these rights.
Patients should not feel obliged to provide consent and do not need to sign the Patient Consent Form immediately.
If patients decide not to provide consent, the Companies will still endeavour to determine whether patients are
eligible for reimbursement of the cost of medical treatment associated with the ASR recall. However, without access
to the patients’ medical records, the Companies may not be able to confirm that the patient has an ASR implant
and is eligible to be reimbursed, or reimbursement may be delayed.
If patients have any concerns regarding the provision of explanted product components i.e. product which has been
removed, patients may cross out paragraph 1 (iii) of the Patient Consent Form before signing the form. Should the
patient wish to provide the explanted product, this element of the Patient Consent Form can be provided at a later
date. Any explanted products which are supplied for testing will be tested in a non-destructive manner and returned
to the patient’s physician upon request.
Patient health and safety is a top priority for DePuy. We continue to work with hospitals, doctors, patients and
regulators to provide information about the recall and this letter is provided with that aim in mind. If patients have
any questions regarding the Patient Consent Form or are unsure as to whether they should sign this form, they
should talk to their surgeon or general practitioner or consider seeking independent advice.
We encourage ASR patients to visit http://ASRrecall.DePuy.com/India and contact the ASR Help Line at

concerning the ASR Hip System. After reviewing this data, DePuy decided it was in the best
interests of patients to voluntarily recall the ASR Hip System.

hip implant you have. Could you give me your full name, date of birth, and Pan card, Voters ID,

At DePuy, meeting the needs of patients is at the center of what we do, and everyone at DePuy is united by the
common goal of improving patients’ lives. DePuy puts patients first. If DePuy finds that a product is not meeting its
high standards and the needs of patients, we take appropriate action.
In August 2010, DePuy issued a voluntary recall of the ASR Hip System after receiving new information from the UK
National Joint Registry as part of the company’s ongoing surveillance of post-market data concerning the ASR Hip System.
After reviewing this data, DePuy decided it was in the best interests of patients to voluntarily recall the ASR Hip System.
We understand that the August 2010 ASR Hip System recall is concerning for patients, their family members
and surgeons. Since the recall decision was made, DePuy has worked to provide patients and surgeons with the
information and support they need.
What to Do
The ASR XL Acetabular Hip System first became commercially available in India in June 2004. If you had hip surgery
in India prior to June 2004, the hip you received is not subject to this recall. If you had hip surgery after June 2004,
please contact your orthopaedic surgeon or the hospital where your surgery took place to determine whether you
received an ASR Hip.
Next Steps
It may take time for the surgeon or hospital to locate this information for you. For privacy reasons, your orthopaedic
surgeon or the hospital where your surgery took place may ask you to request this information in person.
If you do not have an ASR Hip:
The hip you received is not subject to this recall. Please speak to your orthopaedic surgeon about any questions you
may have about your hip replacement.
If you do have an ASR Hip:
Contact the DePuy ASR Help Line to initiate a claim with DePuy
DePuy is committed to working with patients and their health insurers to address medical costs directly associated
with the recall. DePuy will also address recall-related patient out-of-pocket expenses, such as lost wages and travel
costs. ASR patients should contact the ASR Help Line at 0008 0065 01713 (toll free for TATA subscribers -within

your hip implant.

In some cases, your surgeon may order additional blood testing or imaging to evaluate your hip. Your surgeon will
determine the best care plan for you and discuss treatment solutions should they be needed. If you don’t know who
performed your hip replacement surgery, ask your primary care physician or the hospital where the surgery took place.
Testing
Diagnostic Testing may help your surgeon evaluate your hip and determine future treatment recommendations,
if necessary.
What to Expect
Your surgeon may use one or more of several tests to evaluate your ASR Hip System:
X-rays
X-rays will allow your surgeon to evaluate how the ASR Hip System is positioned, if there is any damage to the
bone, and/or if the ASR Hip System has remained attached to the bone. If the X-rays show problems with your ASR
Hip System, your surgeon may recommend additional testing or surgery to replace your hip implant.
Blood Tests
Your surgeon may order blood testing as part of your ASR Hip System evaluation. Your surgeon may recommend a
second blood test to confirm the results of the initial blood test.
MRI or Ultrasound
Your surgeon may want to do an MRI or ultrasound test of your ASR Hip System. Your surgeon may then
recommend additional testing or surgery to replace your implant.
Treatment
Your surgeon will need to evaluate how your ASR Hip System is functioning and make a decision on the best course
of treatment for your specific needs.
If Your ASR Hip Is Functioning Well
If you do not have any symptoms or test results that suggest you may need to have your implant replaced, then you
should follow your surgeon’s recommendations for continued follow-up.
If Revision Surgery Is Necessary
If you need to have an additional surgery, your surgeon will select the appropriate implant system for you. The
manufacturer and model of any replacement implant system is a choice that you and your doctor are best positioned
to make. DePuy is committed to working with patients to address medical costs directly associated with the recall.
Paying for Testing and Treatment
Your safety and health are important to DePuy, and we are committed to providing ASR patients with the
information and support they need for their recall-related medical care.

to the recall, including revision surgery if necessary. DePuy will also address recall-related patient out-of-pocket

address any questions and/or concerns regarding the recall. Patients can contact their Puri Crawford representative
at any time via the ASR Help Line for additional information or to submit expenses.
It is important to note that patients do not waive the right to pursue legal action by initiating a claim for
reimbursement, signing the Patient Consent Form or providing medical information to DePuy.

expenses and costs you incur associated with receiving treatment to our third party claims processor, Puri Crawford.
Eligible costs for reimbursement may include:
• Medical treatment including testing, treatment, and revision surgery if required

Claims will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If eligible, your claim will be processed, and you will be reimbursed
as soon as reasonably practicable.

In 2010, DePuy voluntarily recalled the ASR™ XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR™ Hip
Resurfacing System. We regret the concern that this recall may cause you, but we want you to know
we’re here to help. DePuy is working with your doctor to make sure you have the information you need
to receive the appropriate care.
Your safety and health are important to DePuy. DePuy intends to address reasonable and customary
costs of testing and treatment if you need services, including revision surgery if it is necessary, associated
with the ASR recall.
The recall of the ASR Hip does not necessarily mean you will need to have the hip implant
removed. Many people with ASR hip implants do not experience problems. However, it is important that
you follow up with your surgeon, even if you are not experiencing symptoms, to ensure that your hip is
working well.
Please schedule an appointment with your surgeon as soon as possible so your surgeon can
evaluate how your ASR Hip System is functioning. In some cases, your surgeon may order testing or
imaging to evaluate how your hip is functioning. Your surgeon will determine the best monitoring plan
for you and discuss treatment solutions should they be needed.
Please do not hesitate to contact DePuy if we can help you. If you have any questions or wish
to initiate a reimbursement, please call the ASR Help Line on 0008 0065 01713 (toll free for TATA
subscribers) or 0008 0065 00226 (toll free for Airtel subscribers) or +91 44 421 44842 (toll

The ASR Help Line and Puri Crawford Reimbursement Programme
To ensure that ASR patient recall-related questions are addressed and eligible out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed
as efficiently as possible, DePuy has engaged Puri Crawford, an independent reimbursements processor, to assist
ASR patients. The reimbursement process offers patients the benefit of highly professional customer support from a
specialised claims-processing company. The Puri Crawford reimbursement programme uses common, well-established
claims processes developed specifically to make it easy for patients and health care providers to initiate claims, submit
information and receive reimbursement. Patients do not waive the right to pursue legal action by participating.
A process focused on the patient’s needs
DePuy is committed to addressing reasonable and customary costs of testing and treatment for reasons related
to the recall, including revision surgery if necessary. DePuy, through Puri Crawford, will also address recall-related
patient out-of-pocket expenses, such as lost wages and travel costs. Because Puri Crawford specialises in the
complex business of processing medical claims, this reimbursement programme assists patients and health care
providers with information and recall-related reimbursement in a professional, effective and timely fashion.
Using this patient-focused approach, the Crawford Group has assisted tens of thousands of ASR patients
worldwide. To date, thousands of payments have been made to address expenses for testing and treatment, and
patient out-of-pocket expenses, including expenses related to revision surgeries and lost wages for ASR patients.
How the Puri Crawford reimbursement programme assists ASR patients
ASR patients can contact the ASR Help Line at 0008 0065 01713 (toll free for TATA subscribers) or
0008 0065 00226 (toll free for Airtel subscribers) or +91 44 421 44842 (toll number) to register a claim.
The process for requesting reimbursement for ASR recall-related expenses is straightforward. First, patients should
register by contacting Puri Crawford and providing patient consent. Once confirmation that the patient has received
an ASR implant is received from either the patient or the patient’s health care provider, recall-related expenses can
be submitted directly to Puri Crawford for review.
A Puri Crawford representative will collect basic patient information and will provide the patient with a
reimbursement number. Once the claim is initiated, a Puri Crawford claims adjustor is assigned as a resource for the
patient to address any questions and/or concerns regarding the reimbursement process. Patients can contact their
Puri Crawford representative at any time via the ASR Help Line for additional information or to submit expenses.
DePuy has asked patients to sign a Patient Consent Form. This form allows healthcare providers to provide
documentation that a patient has received an ASR device. If a particular patient does not wish to sign the Patient
Consent Form or provide the medical information to Puri Crawford, or if DePuy is not able to assess the eligibility of
a patient’s claim for reimbursement, prompt resolution of their claim may not be possible. If a patient does not wish
to sign the Patient Consent Form, the patient may submit verification of claim eligibility to Puri Crawford directly.
Patients do not waive the right to pursue legal action by initiating the process for reimbursement, signing the
Patient Consent Form or providing medical information to Puri Crawford.
Puri Crawford needs medical records to confirm that a patient in fact had an ASR hip implant and to evaluate
whether costs related to the patient’s treatment are eligible for reimbursement.

ASR Hip Patient Treatment Guidelines
DPYUS 25 v4 Page 1 of 2 1 March 2013
DePuy’s ASR Recall Guide provides guidelines for testing and treatment of ASR Hip patients. DePuy believes that all
patients with a joint replacement be followed up periodically with a frequency determined by local guidance, relevant
physician clinical protocol, and the needs of individual patients. Since the announcement of the ASR recall, guidelines
have been issued in several markets around the world to provide market-specific guidance. These guidance documents
provide important information for surgeons to consider along with their own medical expertise and the needs of
each patient.

Radiological and Cross-Sectional Testing Protocols
Guidance for the ASR™ XL Acetabular System/DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System Recall
In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. issued a voluntary recall of all ASR products. Since the recall, DePuy has
received inquiries from surgeons concerning how to evaluate patients who received an ASR product. This update is
designed to provide information related to frequently asked questions, and should not preclude any other routine
clinical evaluation or treatment.
We hope this information assists you in the evaluation and treatment of your ASR patients. This information is not
meant to substitute for the exercise of your own medical judgment.
Radiological Protocol Suggestions
1. X-rays should be obtained on an annual basis or as per standard of care
2. All efforts should be in place to have consistency of positioning in each view which could be reliably used to
compare with previous radiographic exams in order to assess any radiographic changes since the original procedure.
3. Views for plain x-rays:
a. AP-Pelvis (centered at symphysis pubis)
b. AP-Hip (at hip joint center)
c. Cross table lateral
4. If using digital radiographs, it is recommended to have the image size at 1:1 to facilitate any linear dimension
analysis.
5. Radiographic signs of interest:
While we encourage you to familiarise yourself with the available medical literature on the subject, our current
understanding of potential radiographic signs of interest discussed in the literature is as follows:
• Interface implant-bone demarcations
• Periprosthetic osteolysis lesion(s)
• Femoral neck narrowing (resurfacing)
• Acetabulum inclination angle subtended by a horizontal reference line delineated by interobturator line
tangent to inferior aspect of both obturator foramen and a line through the open face of the acetabulum.
• Hip joint center relative to vertical line through tear-drop and a horizontal reference line, i.e. intraobturator line.
• Acetabulum coverage (superior-lateral and inferior-medial)
• Visible changes from previous radiographs
Additional Cross-sectional Imaging Suggestions
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRIs should be ordered as MRI with metal artifact reduction sequences (MARS) to reduce the size and intensity of
magnetic field distortion created by the implant
Patient Position
Supine, feet first

Machine Settings
Machine settings are specific to each MRI scanner. The manufacturer of the MRI scanner should be
contacted to identify the appropriate settings for the metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS). The
MARS order provided by the surgeon to radiology should include – “MARS fast spin echo” or “MARS
turbo spin echo” to reduce artifacts.
MRI Findings
MRI findings should be correlated with clinical examination. MRI may demonstrate changes that appear to
correspond to macroscopic surgical findings (soft-tissue necrosis, abnormal masses, sterile fluid collections
and bone necrosis).
MRI Signs of Interest
While we encourage you to familiarise yourself with the available medical literature on
the subject, our current understanding of potential MRI signs of interest discussed in the
literature is as follows:
• Periprosthetic soft tissue mass with no hyperintense T2W fluid signal or fluid-filled peri-prosthetic
cavity
• Peri-prosthetic soft tissue mass/fluid-filled cavity or lesions with either of following:
- Muscle atrophy (fatty infiltration) or oedema in any muscle other than short external rotators or
- Bone marrow oedema: hyperintense on short inversion recovery sequence (STIR)
- Fluid-filled cavity extending through deep fascia
• Tendon defect and/or avulsion, intermediate T1W soft tissue cortical or marrow signal
Fluid collections are usually well circumscribed and best seen on T2-weighted sequences. Cores have signal
intensities similar to that of bladder fluid, while the pseudocapsules appear hypointense to skeletal muscle and often
feature areas of no signal.
Soft-tissue masses are more solid and best seen on a T2-weighted sequence. They may appear less circumscribed than
the fluid collections and may have no obvious capsule and can characterise loss of muscle definition and tissue planes.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound can be used when a MARS MRI is not available. Ultrasound should be performed by staff experienced
in conducting musculoskeletal ultrasound scans. Ultrasound findings should be correlated with clinical examination;
these may demonstrate changes that appear to correspond to macroscopic surgical findings (soft-tissue swelling,
abnormal masses, fluid collections, muscle or tendon abnormalities and bone necrosis).
Patient Position
Supine and lateral decubitus
Probe Placement
To obtain sagittal oblique images place probe parallel to long axis of femoral neck.
To obtain additional images, place probe anteriorly, posteriorly and directly laterally to femoral neck.
DPYASPAC 11 2 of 3 8 November 2010
31For the latest information on the ASR™ Hip Recall, please visit our website at ASRrecall.DePuy.com/India
contact
Ultrasound Findings
Any abnormality needs to be examined in multiple planes. Examination includes inspection of the psoas
muscle. Use probes of varying frequency depending on the size of the patient.
Ultrasound Signs of Interest
While we encourage you to familiarise yourself with the available medical literature on the
subject, our current understanding of potential ultrasound signs of interest discussed in the
literature is as follows:
• Extra-articular fluid collection
• Fluid collections (identified as hypoechoic areas in soft tissues)
• Solid or cystic masses
These suggestions are based on the attached published literature references. These articles provide more information
related to the MARS MRI and ultrasound techniques and the findings related to soft tissue reactions around
hip replacements. Medical practice is constantly evolving, so there may be new suggestions regarding imaging
techniques in the future. If you have additional questions, please contact Dr. Anish Desai, M.D.,FCP, Director Medical
Affairs & Clinical Operations, Johnson & Johnson Medical, India, +91 22 66646602.

This document includes details relating to blood sampling, shipping and transportation guidelines connected to the
ASR Recall:
To support blood testing DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. (“DePuy”) has contracted the SAS Trace Element Laboratories at
Charing Cross Hospital (London, UK) and Southampton General Hospital (UK) to provide a centralised resource for
this service and will make arrangements with a shipping agent to transport the samples. To facilitate comprehensive,
efficient claims handling and reimbursement of medical and associated costs, DePuy has partnered with Puri
Crawford, a global claims management organisation. In India, DePuy India has also partnered with Super Religare
Laboratories (SRL) to provide surgeons of ASR patients in India with local facilities to undertake diagnostic tests of
patients with ASR implants.
Payment
For any ASR blood sample shipments and testing ordered in accordance with this Protocol, the shipping agent and
analytical laboratory will invoice DePuy and the costs will be met directly by DePuy. There will be no cost payable by
the hospital/clinic to the shipping agent or the analytical laboratory for this service.
Please note, all phlebotomy kits and blood samples tubes should be sourced and paid for directly by the hospital/ clinic.
Claims for reimbursement of the cost of this equipment can be submitted via the medical reimbursement process.
To enable DePuy to provide this service there are a few steps that need to be followed, these are detailed below.
Step 1. Contact the ASR Help Line
Contact the ASR Help Line operated by DePuy’s representative, Puri Crawford, on 0008 0065 01713 (toll free for
TATA subscribers) or 0008 0065 00226 (toll free for Airtel subscribers) or +91 44 421 44842 (toll number) to obtain
your patient’s medical claim number. If your patient has not yet registered with the ASR Help Line, this will need to
be done before a medical claim/reimbursement number can be allocated.
You will need to identify the sample with the patient claim number in order for the ASR Help Line and the analytical
laboratory to process the collection and testing of the blood sample.
Step 2. Blood Sampling Procedure
The blood sampling procedure outlined below in this document is based on the following guidance that was
released jointly by the British Hip Society and the British Orthopaedic Association on 22nd April 2010:
‘Chromium and cobalt and other metals present in surgical implants are usually measured by inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) using either quadruple (QICPMS) or high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-
ICPMS). Both are capable of accurate analysis, but only HRI-CPMS instruments will allow the measurement of some
other metal ions such as titanium and nickel. Electro thermal atomisation atomic absorption spectrometry may also
be used, but is less common now in the leading trace element analysis laboratories. Blood samples for trace element
analysis must be collected in trace element free tubes. Tubes are available with either EDTA anticoagulant for the
analysis of whole blood samples or with no additive for the analysis of serum samples. There is a small difference in
results obtained from whole blood and serum, but both can be used to assess release of metals from implants. The
primary advantage of whole blood for the surgeon is that samples can be sent to the laboratory without the need
for separation of serum, a step which may allow the potential for sample contamination. Some laboratories may

6ml (Na Hep) Trace Element Tube, Royal Blue cap, part number 456080
To further minimise the likelihood of contamination from a stainless steel needle, an initial 10ml of blood should
be withdrawn and discarded to avoid any potential contamination from blood that may have been in touch with
the metal needle tip. A further sample of blood, the volume of which depends on the size of tube available for
storage, should be drawn into the trace element free tube. In most instances 6ml of blood should be sufficient for
a complete blood analysis. The actual volume required for laboratory analysis is in the region of 50 micro-litres,
however the larger volume of 6 - 7.5 millilitres (ml) is required during handling to make processing possible.
The sample must be labelled with key information; in particular it must contain the patient’s:
• Name
• Date of birth
• Patient Claim Number
• Name and location of hospital/clinic
• Name of surgeon
• Date implantation of the ASR™ or ASR™ XL hip system occurred
• Date of sample collection

ASR™ XL Acetabular System/DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System: Retention of Explanted Components
Attention Doctors and Hospital Representatives:
In the event that you are revising an ASR implant and your patient has consented for their explants to be
provided to DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. we request your assistance in retaining explanted DePuy ASR and
ASR XL Hip System components and related tissue samples.
When a femoral hip stem is removed during the revision of ASR XL components, please retain the hip stem
with the ASR components. If the revision procedure requires removal of tissue adjacent to the ASR Hip
System, samples of the removed tissue should be retained for inspection in addition to the hip stem and
ASR components. The samples of the removed tissue should be obtained by routine procedures. The total
sample volume should not be larger than a golf ball in size and should only be taken from tissue removed
from areas adjacent to the revised implant that may contain debris from the subject device. Collection and
inspection of explanted components and tissue samples require prior written patient authorisation.
DePuy has identified a third-party retrieval laboratory to receive and analyse explanted components and
related tissue samples. Please retain these items in accordance with the following procedures until DePuy
can arrange for their transport to the appropriate retrieval laboratory:
1. Preservation: All tissue samples should be placed in fixative and explanted components should be
decontaminated in accordance with hospital procedures.
2. Packaging: After decontamination, place each component in a separate zip top style bag and
then place all the components for the patient in one larger zip top style bag. Tissue samples should
remain soaked in the fixative and retained in a leak-proof container marked as “biohazard” and
“hazardous” per hospital procedures for the fixative.
3. Tracking: For tracking purposes, all retrieved components and tissue samples should be labelled
either directly on the bag/bottle or on a tag firmly attached to the bag/bottle with the patient name,
patient date of birth, hospital name, surgeon name, hospital patient identity number, date of original
surgery and date of revision surgery. When available, the DePuy supplied complaint number, which is
prefaced by the letters WPC or DINT, should also be included.
Thank you for your assistance in retaining explanted components and tissue samples. If you have
any questions, please contact T. Dhivakar at Puri Crawford at [email protected] or
0008 0065 01713 (toll free for TATA subscribers) or 0008 0065 00226 (toll free for Airtel subscribers) or

3. PRECAUTIONS:
3.1 Only personnel trained in handling and shipping infectious substances shall perform this
procedure.
3.2 Standard precautions for biological materials must be used when handling the retrieved
components and possible tissue samples.
4. DECONTAMINATION OF EXPLANTS AND PRESERVATION OF TISSUE SAMPLES:
4.1 Following the completion of local hospital decontamination protocols
or
immersion in 10% formalin for a minimum of 12 hours, all explants and tissue samples
should be prepared for collection and shipping to the London Implant Retrieval Centre in one
of the following ways:
4.1.1 Any liquid should be disposed of and then ideally each individual prosthesis should be
wrapped in tissue or gauze
4.1.2 A small amount of water should be added to the 10% formalin solution to dilute it
to <10%
4.1.3 Any formalin in excess of 30ml should be poured away so that volume is <30ml.
4.2 Please note that due to shipping regulations explants or tissue samples packed with ≥10%
formalin in volumes ≥30ml will not be collected.
4.3 Explants and tissue samples should be packed separately in a suitable pot, box or pouch.
This is to limit any damage that could be caused in transit should more than one explanted
prosthesis be packed together.
