Products distributed as sterile may not have been adequately sterilized
Zavation is recalling 10-gauge ZVplasty Drills (REF VCF-1006) used in orthopedic and spinal procedures because some units may not have been properly sterilized. This could lead to infection if the drill is used in medical procedures.

Check for the model number REF VCF-1006 on the drill. The product was distributed with batch number 19113036. These drills are intended for orthopedic and spinal procedures.
Verify if the drill has been properly sterilized by checking the batch number and manufacturer's instructions.
The recall indicates some units may not have been adequately sterilized, so it's not safe to use without confirming the batch number.
