Plain-English summary
Bien-Air Surgery Sa is recalling 1,120 units of the OsseoDuo Multifunction Pedal (Model 1600517, Catalog number 1600517-001). These devices are intended to convert electrical energy to mechanically drive attachments, microsaws, shaver blades, burs, and perforator tools for cutting and shaping bone, including the spine and cranium.
The recall is being issued because the magnet located inside the foot pedal may come off. This failure may result in an unattended start of the motor, which could become unstoppable. The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States, including in the states of California, Michigan, and Minnesota.
Healthcare facilities and users should check their inventory for the specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice. If a device is found, it should be removed from service immediately to prevent potential injury from the uncontrolled motor operation.
