Nobel Biocare recalls: what they mean for patients

FDA's recall database lists 76 records with Nobel Biocare as the recalling firm; 74 are marked "Terminated" (completed) and 2 are "Open".1 Most recalls concern specific batches, labels or instruments, not implants already in patients.

In short
  • A recall is a correction or removal of specific products, not a verdict on a brand.2
  • The two open records concern N1™ co-packed instruments and packaging.1
  • Your lot number (implant passport) is what links you to a recall.
