DePuy ASR™ Hip Recall Resource Packet
We appreciate that managing the ASR™ Hip System recall in your practice is a complex undertaking,
and that you, your office staff and your patients have many questions about the management of
ASR patients, as well as the reimbursement process.
• 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 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.
• 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 co-pays, deductible expenses, lost wages and travel costs. ASR patients
should contact the ASR Help Line at 1-888-627-2677 for assistance.
• All requests for reimbursement of recall-related testing and treatment costs will be reviewed on
a case-by-case basis, regardless of the time elapsed from the date of the initial ASR surgery.
• DePuy’s efforts to support ASR patients and their surgeons remain a top priority. Through
the ASR Help Line, tens of thousands of ASR patients have been assisted; the program for
reimbursing ASR patients for recall-related expenses is well-established; and DePuy has
provided information and support to surgeons who are treating ASR patients. We encourage
ASR patients to visit http://asrrecall.depuy.com and contact the Help Line at 1-888-627-2677
for assistance.

Sample Letter from Surgeon Offices to ASR Patients
Insert Month, Insert Date, 2011
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., the
provider of your hip, recalled the ASR Hip System and recommends that patients be evaluated. The
“recall” of the ASR Hip does not necessarily mean you will need to have the hip implant removed.
Please call my office to schedule an appointment for the evaluation of your hip. [Alternative
beginning to this paragraph: For this reason I have scheduled an appointment with you at my office
on insert month and insert date.] 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 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 co-pays, deductible
expenses, lost wages and travel costs. ASR patients with recall-related out-of-pocket expenses
should contact the ASR Help Line, 1-888-627-2677, for assistance and evaluation of these claims.
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.
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,
xx
Note: The DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System was only approved for use outside the U.S. and the ASR™ XL Acetabular
System was available worldwide.

Sample Letter from Surgeon Offices
for Non-ASR Patients
Insert Month, Insert Date, 2011
Dear Patient,
As you may know, one of the providers of hip replacement implants has recalled one type of hip
implant system, the DePuy ASR Hip System. I am writing to inform you that the hip implant I used
in your hip surgery was not from the ASR Hip System. You are not affected by this recall and do not
need to take any additional steps as a result of the ASR Hip System recall.
As always, I encourage you to schedule an appointment with me if you are having a problem with
your hip implant.
Note: The DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System was only approved for use outside the U.S. and the
ASR™ XL Acetabular System was available worldwide.

ASR Hip System Recall Suggested Talking Points
for Office Managers at Surgeons’ Offices
• Thank you for calling.
• I understand your concern about this recall.
• I’m sure you have questions about your hip surgery, including what type of hip implant you
have, and I will gladly answer what questions I can, and, if necessary, schedule an appointment

Information about the Recall
• First, let me provide you with some information about the hip implant being recalled:
-- There are many different brands of hip implants available.

-- 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.
-- It is important that ASR patients follow up with their surgeon for evaluation of their hip
implant even if they are not experiencing symptoms.
-- 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 outof-pocket expenses, such as co-pays, deductible expenses, lost wages and travel costs.

information from you so I may look up your medical records to determine what type of

you have and whether or not we need to schedule a follow-up appointment.

Due to privacy concerns, I cannot give patient information over the phone. I can tell you
that if you had your hip surgery before July 2003, your hip implant is not a part of this

request your patient information in person.

they are impacted by this recall:] Dr. XX is sending/has sent a letter to any patient whose
hip implant is a part of this recall; if you receive/have received one of those letters, then

Information for Patients
To ASR Hip Replacement Patients:
At DePuy, our mission for more than a century has been developing products and technologies that help patients who
have been impacted by pain, disability and a loss of mobility return to a more active lifestyle. If DePuy finds that one of its
products is not meeting the high standards of our company, our patients, or our surgeons’, 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.
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. It is important that ASR patients follow up with their surgeon
for evaluation of their hip implant even if they are not experiencing symptoms. DePuy is 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 co-pays, deductible expenses, lost wages and travel costs.
There are many different brands of hip implants available, including several brands from DePuy Orthopaedics, and
patients may not be aware of what brand of implant they have. We encourage patients to check with their surgeon or
hospital to determine what brand of hip implant they have received.
If you have an ASR Hip, please call our ASR Help Line at 1-888-627-2677 to have your specific questions answered and
to begin the claims and reimbursement process. We know that the recall is concerning to patients and their families.
Please visit ASRrecall.DePuy.com for more detailed information. The U.S. FDA also recently provided information on
metal-on-metal hips, such as the ASR Hip System, which can be found here.
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to call our ASR Support Line at 1-866-230-9597.

Reason for Recall
The ASR Hip System Recall
DePuy’s top priority is and always has been patient safety.
With this priority in mind, we continually evaluate data on
our products.
The ASR Hip System
as shown in the image to the
right, and a metal cap is placed
over the femoral head.
The DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing
System includes two components:
• A metal cap is placed over the natural femoral head;
and
In a natural hip, the thigh
bone, known as the femur,
is connected to the pelvis at
the hip joint. The femur has
a rounded end, called the
• A one-piece metal cup lines the acetabulum
femoral head. The femoral
head fits like a ball into a
concave surface on the pelvis,
known as the acetabulum. For
this reason, the hip joint is often called a ball and socket
joint. The femoral head rotates within the acetabulum,
which allows for motion. When osteoarthritis, injury or
other conditions cause the hip joint to lose mobility and
become painful, a hip replacement or hip resurfacing
surgery may be performed.
The ASR Hip System is one of many hip implants available
from DePuy Orthopaedics. The ASR Hip System is a onepiece cup and socket that may be used either for total hip
replacement or hip resurfacing.
ASR XL Total Hip Replacement
With an ASR XL total hip replacement, a one-piece metal
component known as an acetabular cup is placed in the
acetabulum as shown in the image below. The femoral
head is replaced with a metal ball which is connected to a
metal stem placed inside the femur.
An ASR XL System includes two components:
• A metal femoral head (or ball) connected to the
stem; and
The ASR Hip Resurfacing System was only approved for use
outside the U.S and was not commercially available in the U.S.
All components for the ASR­™ XL Acetabular System and
DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing Platform are part of this recall.
Understanding the Reason for the Recall
At DePuy Orthopaedics, 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 Hip Systems first became available in July
2003. If you had hip surgery prior to July 2003, the hip
you received is not subject to this recall. If you had hip
surgery after July 2003, please contact your orthopaedic
surgeon or the hospital where your surgery took place to
determine whether you received an ASR Hip.
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.
Next Steps
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
co-pays, deductible expenses, lost wages and travel
costs. ASR patients should contact the ASR Help Line
at 1-888-627-2677 to initiate the claims process.
Document ID: DPYUS 19 (Version 2)
Learn more about the claims and
reimbursements process on the
“reimbursements” page.
• Schedule an appointment with your surgeon.
If you received the ASR­™ XL Acetabular System or
DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System, your surgeon
will be able to evaluate how your ASR Hip System is
functioning. Additional testing and treatment may
be necessary to evaluate your hip implant.
Follow-up Care
It is important that you follow up with your surgeon, even
if you are not experiencing symptoms, for evaluation of
your hip implant. You should discuss with your surgeon
how frequently you should return for an office visit if you
are not experiencing symptoms.
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 will help your surgeon evaluate your
hip and determine future treatment recommendations, if
necessary.
• 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.
What to Expect
Your surgeon may use one or more of several tests to
evaluate your ASR Hip System:
• 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.
• 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 surgery to replace it.
Learn more about Claims & Reimbursements on the Reimbursement page.
Treatment
If Revision Surgery Is Necessary
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.
Learn more about testing and evaluation in the
“Testing” section above.
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.
Document ID: DPYUS 19 (Version 2)
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 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 co-pays, deductible expenses, lost wages and travel
costs. ASR patients should contact the ASR Help Line at
1-888-627-2677 for assistance.

Claims & Reimbursements
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.
DePuy is working with patients and their health
insurers to address medical costs directly associated
with the recall.
DePuy will also address recall-related patient out-ofpocket expenses, such as co-pays, deductible expenses,
lost wages and travel costs. DePuy has engaged an
independent, third party claims processor, Broadspire,
so that you may be reimbursed quickly and efficiently.
The reimbursement process offers patients the benefit of
highly professional customer support from a specialized
claims-processing company. In order to submit your claim
and receive reimbursement for eligible costs associated
with treatment, you will need to obtain a claim number
by calling the ASR Help Line (1-888-627-2677). When
you call the ASR Help Line, you will be instructed on how
to submit claims for reimbursement.
A Broadspire representative will collect basic patient
information and will provide the patient with a claim
number. Once the claim is initiated, a Broadspire claims
adjustor is assigned as a resource for the patient to address
any questions and/or concerns regarding the recall. Patients
can contact their Broadspire representative at any time 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 Authorization Form or
providing medical information to Broadspire.

• Lost wages related to missed work associated with

Claims will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Insured Patients
DePuy is working with many public and private insurers
(including Medicare) to establish a single and simplified
process to address claims for recall-related care and
medical treatment, including revision surgeries. If you
are an ASR patient who requires recall-related diagnostic
testing and medical treatment and you have insurance,
whether through a public or private insurer, please
seek out the medical care that you need and submit
those charges directly to your insurer for coverage as
you normally would. We have provided physicians with
a number of guidelines regarding available test and
monitoring options and we continue to update these
guidelines as new information comes to our attention.
Uninsured Patients
For patients without any insurance or health care
coverage, please contact the ASR Help Line operated by
Broadspire, an independent, third-party claims processor
engaged by DePuy, at 1-888-627-2677 to determine the

The Broadspire ASR™ Help Line and Reimbursement Program
To ensure that ASR patient recall-related questions are addressed and out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed as efficiently
as possible, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. has engaged Broadspire Services Inc., an independent claims processor, to assist
ASR patients. The reimbursement process offers patients the benefit of highly professional customer support from
a specialized claims-processing company. The Broadspire reimbursement program 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.
A process focused on the patient’s needs
DePuy is committed to working with patients and their health insurers to address medical costs directly associated
with the recall of the ASR Hip System. DePuy, through Broadspire, will also address recall-related patient out-of-pocket
expenses, such as co-pays, deductible expenses, lost wages and travel costs. Because Broadspire specializes in the
complex business of processing medical claims, this reimbursement program assists patients and health care providers
with information and recall-related reimbursement professionally, effectively and in a timely fashion.
Using this patient-focused approach, Broadspire has assisted tens of thousands of callers in the U.S. To date, thousands
of payments have been made to cover expenses for testing and treatment, and patient out-of-pocket expenses,
including expenses related to revision surgeries and lost wages for ASR patients.
The process for requesting reimbursement for ASR recall-related expenses is straightforward. First, patients should register
as a claimant by contacting Broadspire. 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 Broadspire.
How Broadspire assists ASR patients
ASR patients can contact the Broadspire ASR Help Line at 1-888-627-2677 to register a claim.
A Broadspire representative will collect basic patient information and will provide the patient with a claim number. Once
the claim is initiated, a Broadspire claims adjustor is assigned as a resource for the patient to address any questions
and/or concerns regarding the recall. Patients can contact their Broadspire representative at any time for additional
information or to submit expenses.
Patients do not waive the right to pursue legal action by initiating a claim for reimbursement, signing the Patient
Authorization Form or providing medical information to Broadspire.
How Broadspire collaborates with Health Care Providers
Patients’ safety and health is important to DePuy, and DePuy does not want cost to be a barrier to treatment. In order
to minimize patients’ out-of-pocket expenses, physician practices and healthcare facilities can submit co-pays and/or
deductibles for registered patients directly to Broadspire.
In addition, DePuy, through Broadspire, will reimburse physicians, physician practices, and healthcare facilities for
a reasonable amount of time they and their staff spend performing certain administrative activities associated with
identifying and notifying patients about the ASR recall.
Health Care Providers can contact the Broadspire claims department at 1-866-874-2865 for instructions on submitting
patients’ co-pays and deductibles.

ASR Hip patient treatment guidelines
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.

Metal Ion, Radiological and Cross-Sectional Testing Protocols
On August 24, 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 or your own
medical judgment.
We hope this information assists you in the evaluation
and treatment of your ASR patients.
A LabCorp form is included in this publication. Click here.
To find the closest lab please visit: www.labcorp.com.
A Quest Diagnostics form is included in this publication.
Click here.
To find the closest laboratory or Patient Service Center
visit: www.questdiagnostics.com
Radiological Protocol Suggestions
1. X-rays should be obtained on an annual basis or as
per standard of care
Whole Blood Collection Suggestions
At the evaluation visit, if the patient is symptomatic or
if you or the patient has concerns about the hip, blood
metal ion testing (cobalt and chromium in whole blood)
should be considered.
If your office, the insurer, or patient is mistakenly
charged for the metal ion testing, those charges will be
reimbursed by DePuy/Broadspire upon receipt of charges.
Patients should be advised to refrain from taking mineral
supplements, vitamin B-12 or vitamin B complex at least
three days prior to specimen collection.
Results may be reported in different units. Please note the
following are equivalent:
1 ppb = 1 μg/l = 1 ng/ml
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:
Cobalt and chromium in whole blood will need to be
drawn at a LabCorp Patient Service Center or Quest
Diagnostics Patient Service Center.

While we encourage you to familiarize 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.
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
• Acetabulum coverage
(superior-lateral and inferior-medial)
While we encourage you to familiarize 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:
• 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
• 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 edema in any
muscle other than short external rotators or
Click here for a listing of (MARS) MRI facilities.
Patient Position
Supine, feet first
Position pelvis in the centre of body matrix coil (top of
prosthesis at top of coil)
Landmark at centre of coil
Document ID: DPYUS 39 (Version 2)
-- Bone marrow edema: 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.

contact
Soft-tissue masses are more solid and best seen on a T2weighted sequence. They may appear less circumscribed
than the fluid collections and may have no obvious
capsule and can characterize 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.
Document ID: DPYUS 39 (Version 2)
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 familiarize 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. Any updated
suggestions or guidances will be found on the DePuy
website, ASRrecall.DePuy.com. If you have additional
questions, please contact DePuy’s Scientific Information
Office at 888-554-2482.

ASR Recall Update:
ASR XL Acetabular System/DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System;
Retention and Preservation of Explanted Components
Dear Hospital Representatives and Surgeons:
As you are aware, any medical device implanted into a patient belongs to the patient. In the event of
revision, the patient must make the decision regarding the final disposition of the implant. The patient
may choose to keep the implant, request the hospital to dispose of the implant using hospital standard
procedures or provide the implant to a third party, i.e. DePuy’s designated retrieval laboratory or to the
patient’s counsel. The patient’s written authorization is required for transfer of the implant to a third party.
The Federal Court overseeing ASR litigation which has followed the August 2010 recall of the ASR Hip
Systems has entered an Order requiring that the parties (DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. (Defendant and the
Plaintiffs) make good faith efforts with non-party medical practitioners and hospitals to preserve explanted
ASR Hip System components. Therefore, disposal of explanted systems should only be considered when
specifically directed by the patient and only after contacting the lawyers identified in Section F Page 8 of the
Order.
The parties have also agreed upon a Protocol for the preservation and handling of the explanted
components. This Order and Protocol, which you will find on the following pages, applies only for the
preservation and handling of ASR Hip System components.
Please review, and note that the Protocol for Decontamination and Preservation (Exhibit A) calls for explants
to be decontaminated in accordance with the hospital’s standard procedures unless the patient, or the
patient’s counsel, requests that the explant be handled in a different fashion. Please note that DePuy does
not object to a patient or their lawyer making other arrangements with the patient’s surgeon and/or the
hospital for the fixation or decontamination of the retrieved components so long as the components are
appropriately decontaminated and preserved.
Tissue samples, if taken, are to be fixed according to hospital pathology procedures. Please note that DePuy
does not object to a patient or their lawyer making other arrangements with the patient’s surgeon and/or the
hospital for the fixation of tissue samples in a manner other than in accord with hospital procedures so long
as the tissue samples are appropriately preserved.
While not being requested by DePuy, please note that DePuy has no objection to a patient or patient’s lawyer
making other arrangements for the retention, preservation, and shipping of synovial fluid and whole blood/
serum for an individual patient.

DePuy, and the lawyers for many patients, have retained separate third party retrieval laboratories for the
inspection of explanted ASR devices:
• If the ASR explanted components have been authorized by the patient to be shipped to DePuy’s third
party retrieval laboratory, DePuy will supply packaging, tracking and shipment instructions to you shortly.
This will include explants previously removed and presently in storage at your facility, as well as explants
removed henceforth.
• If a patient or a patient’s lawyer authorizes that their explanted components/tissue samples be shipped
to a different third party retrieval laboratory, that patient or lawyer is responsible for providing packaging
and shipment instructions, and those explants are not to be shipped to DePuy’s retrieval lab at this time.
• Should you have questions about what to do with an individual patient’s explants, or should any dispute
arise with a patient or a patient’s lawyer regarding their explants, the Order provides contact information
(Section F, Page 8) for lawyers who will assist in providing an answer to your questions.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions as to explanted components/tissue samples for
which authorization has been obtained for them to be sent to DePuy’s retrieval laboratory, please contact
DePuy’s Explant Retrieval Coordinator, Lester Pierce, at (866) 230-9597.

Healthcare Professionals Treating
ASR™ Hip System Patients:
DePuy would like to share important claims
and reimbursement information with you.
In August 2010, DePuy voluntarily recalled the ASR™ XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System.
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 co-pays, deductible expenses, lost wages
and travel costs.
Because you are the orthopaedic provider for ASR patients, you and your office will play a critical role in
the reimbursement process. In the following diagrams, we provide more detailed information about your role in the
claims and reimbursement process for patients with and without insurance.
• Diagram #1 (Healthcare Professional Patient Claim/Reference Number Initiation): Your patients may initiate
a claim with our third party claims processor, Broadspire, on their own. Alternatively, you may initiate a claim
for your patients, as explained in Diagram #1. In order to complete this process, you will be asked to fill out and
submit the DePuy Orthopaedics ASR Product Recall Reporting Form (DPYUS 42).
• Diagram #2 (ASR Hip System Treatment Reimbursement Process for Insured Patients): If a patient is
insured, please follow the claim and expense submittal process explained in Diagram #2. 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 co-pays, deductible expenses, lost
wages and travel costs. ASR patients with recall-related out-of-pocket expenses should contact the ASR Help Line,
1-888-627-2677, for assistance and evaluation of these claims.
• Diagram #3 (ASR Hip System Treatment Reimbursement Process for Uninsured Patients): If a patient is
uninsured, please submit claims for medical services directly to Broadspire, as explained in Diagram #3. Patients
should submit out-­of-­pocket expenses directly to Broadspire.
We recognize that your office will need to follow some new processes to receive reimbursement for the care
and treatment of ASR patients, and we thank you for your patience, flexibility and understanding. While we
realize that this recall may be concerning for you and your patients, we are working to make the reimbursement process
as efficient as possible.
Please do not hesitate to contact DePuy if we can help you. If you have any questions, please call DePuy’s toll free
number at 866-­230-­9597. Additional information and forms are available at ASRrecall.DePuy.com.
