IMPLAGEN
5-Year Warranty
Every Implagen titanium prosthetic component is covered by a five-year manufacturing defect warranty from the invoice date.
1. What is covered
- Material defects in Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) titanium raw material.
- Machining defects (dimensional non-conformity, thread defects, surface finish).
- Non-conformity with the technical specification declared for the product SKU.
2. What is not covered
- Wear, corrosion or damage caused by clinical use, sterilisation cycles or contact with aggressive chemicals not recommended by the manufacturer.
- Damage caused by improper handling, storage, or by attempting to modify the component.
- Failures caused by incompatible pairing (using a component outside its declared compatibility list).
- Aesthetic wear, cosmetic marks not affecting function.
- Damage caused by third-party components mounted on Implagen parts.
3. Duration & scope
60 months from the invoice date. Warranty is transferable within the original buying entity but does not extend to end-patient claims — clinical responsibility remains with the treating clinician.
4. How to claim
- Email contact@implagen.com with subject "Warranty claim — SKU / invoice #".
- Attach: invoice number, SKU, lot/batch code (etched on the part), photographs, short description of the issue.
- We reply within 5 working days with a return authorisation (RMA) number and instructions.
- Ship the part in a sealed medical bag with the RMA number visible. Return shipping is prepaid by Implagen for confirmed warranty cases.
- After inspection (max 15 working days) we replace the part, issue a credit note, or explain in writing why the claim is not accepted.
5. Remedies
For confirmed manufacturing defects, Implagen at its option: (a) replaces the part free of charge, (b) issues a credit note for the invoiced value, or (c) refunds the invoiced value. Liability is capped at the invoiced value of the affected part — see Terms & Conditions §9.
6. Traceability
Every titanium component is laser-marked with a lot code, enabling full traceability to raw material batch and machining run, as required by ISO 13485.
