FDA (Devices) recall action 68647
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.
The Indicator Dot on the film packet's outer printed paper labeling was incorrectly positioned relative to the location of the raised dot on the dental intraoral film. This may cause confusion for the dental practitioner. If the processed film is placed on the view box by referencing the film's raised dot, the image orientation will be rotated 180 degrees.
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.
Carestream Health Inc. is recalling INSIGHT Dental Film because the indicator dot on the packaging is misaligned, which may cause dental practitioners to view images upside down.
Carestream Health Inc. is recalling 1,633 boxes of Ultra-speed Dental Film because the indicator dot is incorrectly positioned, which may cause image orientation errors.
