FDA (Devices) recall action 65005
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
A small number of outer implant boxes may be mislabeled. The inner tray, containing the implant, is label correctly. This condition, if present and not recognized could potentially result in the dental implant not being able to be placed into the osteotomy or seated to the desired depth if placement is attempted.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Biomet 3i is recalling 33 dental implants because outer boxes may be mislabeled. The inner trays are correctly labeled, but the error could prevent proper implant placement.
Biomet 3i is recalling 51 dental implants because outer boxes may be mislabeled. The implants themselves are correctly labeled, but the error could prevent proper placement.
