X-Guide X-Mark Probe Tool Recall: Missing Weld Creates Aspiration Risk

X-NAV Technologies is recalling the X-Guide X-Mark Probe Tool because a critical weld may be missing, potentially allowing the probe tip to detach and fall into a patient's mouth during use, creating a risk of aspiration or swallowing.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a risk-of-harm medical device where injury has not yet been reported. The hazard—foreign body aspiration during a dental procedure—is serious, but no actual illnesses or injuries are documented in the source text.
