Carestream Recalls Ultra-speed Dental Film Due to Indicator Dot Misalignment
Carestream Health Inc. is recalling 1,633 boxes of Ultra-speed Dental Film because the indicator dot is incorrectly positioned, which may cause image orientation errors.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, and the hazard involves labeling confusion leading to image orientation errors rather than direct physical injury or adverse health consequences.
Plain-English summary
Carestream Health Inc. is recalling 1,633 boxes of Ultra-speed Dental Film, Catalog Number/REF 834 8658, with KODAK and Carestream DENTAL labels. The affected lot numbers are 33301201, 33301202, 33301203, 333012 (part unknown), and 34301501. The product was distributed worldwide.
The recall was initiated because the Indicator Dot on the film packet's outer printed paper labeling was incorrectly positioned relative to the location of the raised dot on the dental intraoral film. This misalignment may cause confusion for dental practitioners. If a practitioner places the processed film on a view box by referencing the film's raised dot, the image orientation will be rotated 180 degrees.
Dental practitioners and consumers who have these specific lot numbers should stop using the product and contact Carestream Health Inc. for further instructions.
