Plain-English summary
ConMed Corporation is recalling 991 pieces of the Hip Preservation System Signature Series PreBent Burs. The affected products include the PreBent Spherical Bur (Catalog Number HPS-HB11), PreBent Polishing Bur (Catalog Number HPS-HB12), and PreBent Oval Bur (Catalog Number HPS-HB13). These medical devices are intended for the resection of osseous tissue in arthroscopic and endoscopic surgical procedures.
The recall was initiated because metal shavings are released from the burs during use. This issue is caused by contact between the bur and the hood of the PreBent Bur assembly. The root cause is an assembly error during the manufacturing process that resulted in the inadvertent mixing of two sizes of bearings.
The affected units were distributed nationwide to California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, as well as internationally to Canada and Wales. Specific lot numbers are listed in the structured product information. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
