KaVo has identified counterfeit turbines and parts in several dif- ferent countries and sales chan- nels. The fake turbines are of unknown origin and are poorly constructed items. The counter- feit parts are also untraceable, are not manufactured to KaVo’s quality standards and their use will void the product warranty. The turbines and parts were most likely not tested for safety, quality or effectiveness and could fail during use with a risk of injury to patient and user. We highlight bellow several critical product issues which bear el- evated risks for patients, dentist and dealers: - The CE label is counterfeit; so these products are not proven medical devices that were tested for safety and effectiveness; - With no official manufacturer, there is no organization respon- FAKE PACKAGING (often SN 11-0505000) ORIGINAL KaVo PACKAGING DETAIL FAKE HEAD (very glossy, 2 screw fixations) (dull, 4 screw fixations) ORIGINAL KaVo HEAD sible for these items or any war- ranty claims; - The counterfeit turbines use the outdated COMPACTtorque design rather than the current SMARTtorque design that was launched in 2013; - Dealers, who trade in counter- feit KaVo turbines in the EU are responsible for any claims and may face legal consequences. In January 2014, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regu- latory Agency even issued a warning to dentists after a coun- terfeit product shattered while being used on a patient. For all the above reasons, KaVo is advising dealers to not buy or sell these counterfeit turbines and warning dentists to not use them for patients’ treatment. Identifying the Counterfeit Products In an effort to deceive buyers, the fake products have exactly the same packaging as the genu- ine KaVo turbines with a forged “SMARTcover” wrapped around a black box. Furthermore, many of the counterfeit turbines use the same serial number (SN 11-0505000). If you encounter a product with serial number SN-11-0505000 it is almost cer- tainly counterfeit and should be discontinued. In some instances the product description in the user manual differs from the printed name on the turbine. Many of the counterfeit items also use a false name “COM- PACTtorque 660B” and the user manual, in most instances, is for a different product, the Unik Midwest Turbine. Therefore the REF. number on the product la- bel doesn’t match with the REF. number on the user manual.
