Zimmer Dental recalls specific surgical kits for dental implants due to potential improper engagement with fixtures. Affected kits may not securely attach to implants, risking complications during procedures.
The device may contain a manufacturing condition affecting the geometry of the driver's hex feature which prevents it from properly engaging the fixture mount transfer and/or a dental implant.
Zimmer Dental is recalling certain surgical kits for dental implants because a manufacturing issue might cause the kit to not properly attach to implants. This could lead to complications during dental procedures if the kit fails to secure correctly.
The surgical kit may have a manufacturing defect that prevents the driver's hex feature from engaging correctly with the fixture mount or dental implant. This could cause the kit to become loose during use, potentially leading to improper implant placement or complications.
Dental professionals using the recalled surgical kits for implant procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these kits during surgery may face complications if the kit doesn't attach properly.
Check the product label for the model number TSVKIT. The affected kits were sold with lot numbers listed in the recall notice, including 63581758 through 63750186.
