Straumann Custom Abutment Ti recalled for incorrect material composition
What this means
Straumann USA LLC recalled certain Custom Abutment Ti units (catalog number 027.4620) because of a manufacturing error. A raw material bar made of TAN material was mistakenly labeled and used instead of the correct Titanium Grade 4 material during production. This affects 13 units distributed in the US and Canada.
- Contact your dental provider or Straumann USA LLC if you received one of the affected abutment units
- Check the lot number on your abutment against the list provided by Straumann
- Do not use affected units; ask your provider about replacement options
The agency's original wording
A material mix-up had occurred during the manufacturing of Straumann¿ Custom Abutments. More specifically, a raw material bar of TAN-material (SAP #701924 / Lot 7130439) was incorrectly identified as a Titanium Bar Ti Gr4 D (SAP #701922 / Lot 7130430). As a result, RC Titanium abutments were manufactured using the TAN Bar material on Mill-from-Bar Machine 396-06.
