Product
Maestro Air Motor Pneumatic cranial drill motor. The Maestro Air Pneumatic System is a pneumatically operated surgical instrument system. The pneumatic motor provides power to operate removable rotating surgical cutting tools and their accessories.
Reason for recall
Due to the buildup of grease within the hose and motor, the product may require multiple attempts to start. The grease may also migrate into the attachment end of the motor. There is a negligible possibility that the orange grease may leak from the attachment end of the motor and contaminate the surgical wound resulting in soft tissue inflammation.
