    Reason

    The recall was initiated because Pentron Clinical has confirmed that the Flow Tec Nano-Hybrid Flowable Composite material has been found to be difficult to extrude.

    Action

    Pentron Clinical sent an initial "URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL" letter dated April 20, 2011 to all affected customers.

The letter instructs customers to complete and fax back an enclosed recall return form in order to confirm their receipt of the recall notification. A second "URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL" letter dated November 10, 2011 was sent to all affected customers because Pentron Clinical expanded the recall.
