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 medical device recall with no reported hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The defect presents a structural risk to implant stability but falls under the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Preat Corp is recalling 561 units of the Nobel Active/Conical-compatible RP Titanium Abutment Blank (Model 9000967, UDI-DI 00842092165867) due to a manufacturing defect. The product was distributed nationwide in Arizona, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

The recall is due to a manufacturing issue affecting the screw seat location on the abutment. The screw seat may be positioned too high, causing the mating screw to have a shorter engagement length into the associated implant. This may affect the stability and performance of the implant assembly.
