Official wording

Reason: Stryker Orthopaedics received a report that a label on the external packaging (box) of a Triathalon Femoral Distal Augment 10mm- Size 5 Left depicted a glyph of an acetabular shell rather than a femoral distal augment. In addition the label was missing a reference to the "10mm" augment thickness which per the label print is required to appear below the size reference.
