Beaver Visitec International, Inc. has recalled 1,980 units of the Conventional Knife Crescent (2.5mm, 55 degrees bevel up) because one lot was found to contain bevel-down blades instead of the intended bevel-up design. This specific product, identified by Part Number 373807, is a surgical instrument used in medical procedures. The error in blade orientation could lead to surgical complications if not identified prior to use. Consumers should check their inventory for Lot Number 6054027 to see if they are affected.
The use of a bevel-down blade when a surgeon expects a bevel-up blade can lead to unintended tissue damage, improper surgical planes, or complications during delicate ophthalmic procedures. This mechanical defect poses a risk of surgical error and potential injury to the patient during use.
