Reported risk: Drills do not fit standard North American surgical drill tools. The drills provided cannot be normally used in Canada. These drills were removed before distribution. This is confirmed for all but, 6 units distributed, that affects 2 clinics. To eliminate the remote possibility of these drills adapted for use, Med-EL issued a recall notice.
