Anthogyr Axiom REG Dental Implants Recalled for Design Validation Failure

Anthogyr is recalling 111 units of Axiom REG dental implants because an FDA inspection found the firm failed to validate the design and process of the devices.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which is a moderate severity classification. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is related to a failure in design validation rather than a confirmed acute safety defect causing harm.
