FDA Recall #Z-1351-2018 — Class II — December 21, 2017

Recall #Z-1351-2018 Date: December 21, 2017 Classification: Class II Status: Terminated

Product Description

Foot Controls Model: S-N1 and S-N2 Product Usage: Variable foot control for use with drive units operating mechanical instruments.

Reason for Recall

During continuous postmarket surveillance activities, we have noticed a potential malfunction of individual foot controls of the type S-N1/S-N2. In case the error occurs, the foot control might not switch back to zero position when the pedal is released. Consequently, the motor keeps rotating. If this happens during automatic thread cutting or automatic screwing-in of implants, it may, in the worst case, lead to a serious injury of the patient.
