The incorrect dental pins were packaged and subsequently distributed.

On 3/18/2021, Coltene issued an Urgent Medical Device Recall notice via letter to customers notifying them the incorrect dental pins were packaged and subsequently distributed. The TMS LINK PLUS Self-Threading L741 Pins should be stainless steel, single sheer link pins that are gold-plated. The pins that were packed and distributed are titanium, double sheer, and not gold plated. The incorrectly packaged pin is too small for the drill, resulting in a hole that may be drilled too large for the pins. The pins may not engage the hole to effectively sheer.
