Reason

Implant Direct Sybron Manufacturing LLC is recalling 3 lots of the DGDE Direct Guide Drill Extender (DGDE) and 22 lots of associated products that contain DGDE as an accessory.  Through internal Regulatory Affairs evaluation (HHE) process, the company found a possible safety issue with the retention of the drill when the DGDE is in use. This discrepancy may lead to the possibility of the DGDE dropping the drill.  The company's current data indicates the possibility of this occurring is unlikely (0.69%).
