Plain-English summary
Implant Direct Sybron Manufacturing, LLC is recalling 75 units of ImplantDirect Legacy(TM) 3 Implant, 13MM L, REF 864713. The affected units are identified by Lot Number 79607. These two-piece dental implants are intended for use in partially and fully edentulous upper and lower jaws to support restorations and abutments.
The recall was initiated after one reported complaint revealed that the outer vial was out of round and undersized. This defect may prevent the inner vial and components from sliding freely out of the packaging. Consequently, the cap may not screw on properly, which could compromise the sterilization of the implant components.
The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and in Japan. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected units and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
