Reason for recall
Use of a 1.4 drill in hard bone conditions caused increased insertion forces leading to subsequent failures of the inserter, when the inserters bend, it may also move off the drill hole location leading to damage of the suture construct during insertion. Suture damage may lead to suture breaks during use.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
