    Description

    EBI Ball Tip Guide Wire 3.2mm x 55cm found in the Ankle Arthrodesis Nail Instr., Part Number 469055.

    Reason

    The wire appears to be soft and the wire bent during insertion. This causes kinks in which the reamer could not pass over the bent/kinked wire.

    Action

    The firm distributed a recall letter to their EBI Fracture Sales Representatives and their EBI Trauma Distributors on 3/16/2005.

    Distribution

    These devices are distributed nationwide to sales representatives who provide the product directly to the hospital/physician at the time of the surgery. The product was also distributed to Italy and Spain. There are no government accounts.
