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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the use of incorrect drill bit sizes could lead to injury, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Ad-Tech Medical Instrument Corporation is recalling 30 units of sterile, single-use Disposable Drill Kits. The affected products include catalog numbers DDK2-2.4-30X and DDK2-2.8-30X. These kits are used to drill cranial holes using a stereotactic frame and contain two drill bits, two drill stops, and two adjustment wrenches.

The recall was initiated because there is a possibility that the DDK2-2.4-30X kits contained 2.8mm drill bits from the DDK2-2.8-30X kits, and vice versa. This mix-up could result in the use of incorrect drill bit sizes during surgical procedures.

The affected devices were distributed nationwide in the United States to California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, Washington, and Wisconsin. They were also distributed to Canada and the United Kingdom. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific lots and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or replacement.
