    Description

    Perry-Kolberg Titanium Motility/Support System (Threaded Sleeve and Flat Peg), Model Number 100045 The threaded sleeve and flat peg are two components of the P-K Titanium Motility/Support System. The threaded sleeve is an externally threaded cylinder and an internal drilled hole designed to receive a peg. It is placed in the Bioeye Hydroxyapatite Implant with the use of the P-K Titanium threaded sleeve wrench after a hole has been prepared in the implant by drilling with a series of hypodermic needles of gradually increasing sizes. After the threaded sleeve is placed in the implant, any of the P-K Pegs can be inserted. The affected model which is the subject of this recall comes with the flat peg.

    Reason

    The threads on the threaded sleeve were manufactured with left-handed threads, requiring a modification to the surgical technique for proper insertion. Failure to properly identify the affected components and apply the modified insertion technique will result in an inability to insert the sleeve into the implant.
