Exoplan Software (Exocad) – Export Filtering Error (2023)

Check Your Product

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Reason for Recall

As stated by FDA

A software library filtering error has been discovered which occurs when users are using the Step-by-Step Full Drill Protocol export functionality of exoplan 3.1 Rijeka. When a guided surgery treatment approach is selected, along with a Step-by-Step Full Drill Protocol export implant library, exoplan software does not filter out unsupported sleeve height positions for a particular sub-full drill protocol and instead shows ALL possible sleeve height positions for all sub-full drill protocols. The use of an improper sleeve height position in a surgical guide could result in patient injury

Recommended Action

Per FDA guidance
