Reason

Almore International Inc., is voluntarily recalling the following Microfil Composite instruments that were shipped between January 1, 2017 and March 17, 2017. Microfil composite instruments in these shipments contained the sterile symbol on their packaging label inserts, indicating that the products are sold as sterile devices.  These products are not sterile.  These devices are intended to be sterile prior to use, but they were distributed in packaging with a sterile symbol.  We are concerned customers could misinterpret this labeling and assume this device is sterile.
