| Action | On March 13 , 2019 the firm sent letters to their consignees stating the following:
The purpose of this letter is to advise you that ulrich medical USA is voluntarily recalling certain Torque Limiting Handles.
Reason for the voluntary recall:
Certain Torque Limiting Handles in the field are beyond their 3 year calibration life. The calibration issue experienced to date has been limited to select instruments and not all of these instruments have been affected. Due to the nature of how these instruments are used the risk to the patient is low.
No injury or death has been reported.
Risk to health:
Over or under tightening of the set screw could cause the construct to fatigue or loosen. The risk to the patient is low.
Actions to be taken by the user:
Return the torque limiting handles to ulrich medical USA at ulrichs expense, and a new torque limiting handle will be shipped back.
Instructions for acknowledgement of receipt include FedEx signature required.
Actions to be taken by the Company: All affected instruments will be replaced with new torque limiting handle upon return.
