Reported risk: Zimmer has initiated a recall of modular electric/battery double trigger and modular electric/battery single trigger handpieces with manufactured serial numbers below 400000, because of a potential malfunction. It is possible that the handpiece could start by itself when the power source is connected. The unexpected output of the device (start by itself) could lead to an injury to the user during usage or preparation of the device.
