Plain-English summary
Biomet 3i, LLC is recalling 96 pieces of the Biomet 3i Narrow Right Angle Large Driver Tip (Hexed), Model # RASH3N, Lot # 1184555. These driver tips are attached to surgical drilling units to carry components such as implant mounts, healing abutments, and screws for placement and removal during dental and restorative procedures.
The recall was initiated because the RASH3N hexed driver tips were labeled and distributed as RASQ3N square driver tips. Additionally, the RASQ3N square driver tips received the RASH3N laser marking during manufacturing. This mislabeling could lead to the use of the wrong driver tip for specific dental components.
The affected products were distributed in the United States (including the District of Columbia) and in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, and Kuwait. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected driver tips and contact Biomet 3i, LLC for further instructions or a replacement.
