What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which corresponds to a moderate severity score. The issue involves updated reprocessing instructions rather than a reported injury or a high-risk pathogen, fitting the criteria for minor labeling or documentation issues.
Plain-English summary
Nakanishi Inc. is recalling 12 units of the SGS-E Surgical Handpiece (Order Code: H084) to replace previous operation manuals. The recall is necessary because reprocessing instructions for the SGS/SGA Surgical Handpieces have been updated to include specific parameters for manual cleaning and autoclave sterilization.
The affected units are identified by serial numbers FL400001 through FL400005, FL500008 through FL500010, and FL400012 through FL400015. These devices were distributed in the United States to California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Washington, as well as internationally to Canada. The handpieces are intended for surgical use, including drilling and tapping the maxilla and mandible for dental implants.
Users should replace the previous operation manual (OM-H0035E001) with the new operation manual to ensure proper reprocessing of the devices.
