Between 2018 and 2026, Millions Of Medical Implants—Including Knees, Hips, Heart Valves, And DME Devices—Were Certified Under An Accreditation System Later Found To Be Invalid. Major Manufacturers Such as Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, DePuy Synthes, Smith & Nephew, Medtronic, And Boston Scientific Relied On This System. Patients Implanted During These Years May Not Have Received Fully Verified Materials Or Processes.
STRATFORD, Conn. - Hartok -- 40‑Year Quality Expert & Boeing Shareholder Daryl Guberman issues patient warning about implants made between 2018–2026
Major manufacturers affected include:
Zimmer Biomet • Stryker • DePuy Synthes • Smith & Nephew • Medtronic • Boston Scientific • Multiple DME Manufacturers
A patient‑friendly explanation of what happened — and why it matters.
If you received a knee implant, hip implant, heart valve, or medical device between 2018 and 2026, you deserve clear information about a major oversight failure that may affect the verification of your device.
This is not about causing fear.
This is about giving patients the transparency they were never provided.
I. What went wrong — the oversight system failed
Two federal contracts—19AQMM18R0131 (2018) and 15F06725C0000139 (2025)—allowed an accreditation body (ANSI‑ANAB) to continue approving medical‑device manufacturers even though its authority was no longer valid.

II. How this affects your implant — from metal to operating room
Your implant goes through many steps before it reaches your surgeon.
If the accreditation behind those steps was invalid, then no one can confirm each step was properly verified.
1. The metal may not have been fully checked
Cobalt, chromium, titanium, and other materials may not have been tested to medical‑grade standards.
2. Manufacturing steps may not have been confirmed
More on hartok.com
Heat treatment, forging, machining, and polishing may not have been independently verified.
3. Testing and sterilization may not have been reliable
Labs that tested and sterilized devices were accredited under the same broken system.
4. The final paperwork may not reflect reality
Certificates of Compliance may not match the true conditions under which the device was made.
This does not mean your implant is unsafe.
It means the verification system behind it was not trustworthy.
III. Why patients were never told
Accreditation bodies often say:
"We certify the system, not the product."
But if the system is fraudulent, then the product—your implant—cannot be fully verified.
Patients were never informed that the system behind their device had broken down.
This means patients could not give fully informed consent.
IV. Your rights as a patient
Under long‑standing legal principles:
You have the right to ask questions.
You have the right to request documentation.
You have the right to understand what is in your body.
V. What you can do right now
1. Identify your device
Find your Implant Identification Card or contact your surgeon's office.
2. Check the dates
If your surgery took place between September 5, 2018 - 2026, your device may have been affected.
3. Ask for documentation
Request the material certification or mill test report for your implant's serial number.
If the provider cannot verify the metal's origin, you deserve to know that.
4. Seek guidance
Patients, attorneys, surgeons, and investigators may contact:
DARYL GUBERMAN
40‑year quality expert • Forensic accreditation investigator • Boeing shareholder
203‑556‑1493
He can help you understand:
You trusted that your implant was made under a safe, verified system.
You trusted that the materials were checked.
You trusted that the process was monitored.
You trusted that the paperwork was accurate.
If the accreditation system is fraudulent, those assurances are not real.
You deserve clarity.
You deserve transparency.
You deserve answers.
