Keystone Dental Recalls Mislabeled PrimaConnex Tapered Dental Implants

Keystone Dental Inc is recalling 120 units of PrimaConnex Tapered Implants because the included cover screw was a WD type instead of the labeled SD type.

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, but the source text explicitly states the issue is a mislabeling of the cover screw type without reporting any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.

Plain-English summary

Keystone Dental Inc is recalling 120 units of PrimaConnex Tapered Implant TC, SD Internal Connection 3.5 x 10mm (Catalog Number: l5613K). The recall is due to a labeling error where the cover screw included in the package was a WD cover screw, not the SD cover screw as labeled on the product.

The affected products are identified by Lot Number 12857. These implants are used in support for fixed bridgework. The distribution pattern includes worldwide distribution to the USA (including DC and the states of CA, FL, IN, MA, MN, NJ, NY, NH, PA, WI, and NY) and the countries of Republic of China, Germany, and France.

The source text does not specify specific instructions for consumers or healthcare providers on how to handle the recalled units, nor does it report any illnesses or injuries associated with the mislabeling.
