Anspach G1 Dissection Tools Recalled for Inconsistent Shaft Exposure Labeling
The Anspach Effort, Inc. is recalling 99 G1 dissection tools because the labeled shaft exposure may be inconsistent with actual usage, potentially resulting in greater exposure than specified.
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 high-risk medical device used on the spine and cranium where a labeling inconsistency could lead to unintended physical harm, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
The Anspach Effort, Inc. is recalling 99 units of ANSPACH -4MM Coarse Diamond Ball, 22MM Shaft Exposure (REF S-4DC-22-G1). These tools are used for cutting and shaping bone, including the spine and cranium.
The recall was initiated because G1 dissection tools are not compatible with all attachments listed on the labeling. Additionally, the tools are labeled with a specified shaft exposure that may not be consistent when used with each attachment on the product label, meaning the actual shaft exposure may be greater than stated.
The affected products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, KY, LA, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, TX) and internationally to Canada and China. Users should stop using the affected tools and contact the manufacturer for instructions.
