Zimmer Dental Recalls Impression Caps Due to Missing Supplemental Instructions
Zimmer Biomet is conducting a field correction for dental impression caps because they were shipped without supplemental instructions for use.
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 due to missing documentation (supplemental IFUs) rather than a physical defect or contamination, which aligns with the rubric for documentation issues and packaging-only problems.
Plain-English summary

The affected products include impression caps in 3.5mm, 4.5mm, 5.5mm, and 6.5mm sizes, both standard and angled, with reference numbers ranging from ZOCIMP3A to ZOCIMP6S.
