Preat Corp is recalling 185 dental digital analog products due to out-of-specification rotation affecting inspection accuracy. The devices are used in dental laboratories for visual inspection of abutments and restorations.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with a documented manufacturing defect affecting measurement accuracy. No illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations have been reported. The hazard is indirect—potential laboratory errors from inaccurate inspection—not direct patient harm, placing this in the Moderate category.

Plain-English summary

Preat Corp has recalled 185 dental digital analog products distributed nationwide due to a manufacturing issue causing out-of-specification rotation. The affected products are used by dental laboratories for visual inspection of dental abutment components and restorations.

Digital analogs serve as reference tools to visually inspect dental abutment components and restorations. When misaligned due to the manufacturing defect, these tools may not accurately represent the dental components being inspected, potentially affecting the accuracy of laboratory work and clinical outcomes.

The recall includes multiple models compatible with NobelBiocare, Straumann, 3i, Astra, BioHorizons, and Legacy implant systems. The 185 recalled devices were distributed nationwide across 18 U.S. states: AK, AZ, FL, GA, IL, LA, MD, MI, MN, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, TX, UT, and WA. Specific model numbers and lot numbers have been identified.

Dental laboratories and clinicians using these digital analogs should contact Preat Corp regarding replacement or remediation. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date.
