Plain-English summary
Biomet 3i, LLC is recalling 103 pieces of the Biomet 3i Narrow Right Angle Square Driver Tip (Model # RASQ3N, Lot # 1184554). These driver tips are used in dental and restorative procedures to attach to a surgical drilling unit for placing and removing implant components.
The recall is due to a labeling and manufacturing error. The recalled square driver tips were labeled and distributed as RASH3N, which is a hexed abutment screw driver tip. Additionally, the recalled items received the laser marking "RASH3N" during the manufacturing process. This misidentification could lead to the use of the wrong driver tip during surgical procedures.
The affected products were distributed in the United States (including the District of Columbia) and in several international locations, including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, and Kuwait. Healthcare professionals and consumers should stop using these specific driver tips and contact Biomet 3i for instructions on how to return the product.
