Reason for recall
The subject products are being recalled because they contain the incorrect size drill guide and will not prepare the bone correctly for the size of the implant included in the sterile kit. If the incorrect drill guide is used, there is potential for bone damage due to incorrectly placed drill holes for the implant included in the kit.
A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
