Description
EBI Ball Tip Guide Wire 3.2mm x 98cm found in the Holland Nail Flexible Reamer Accessory P/N 469060.
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.
