Reason/Issue	The geometrical shape of a subcomponent of this attachment was inadvertently changed. This change allows potential unintended reverse (counter-clockwise) motion if the subcomponent is aligned in a specific orientation when the attachment is connected to the handpiece and both triggers are pressed. This attachment is intended to be used without reverse motion. Unintentional activation in reverse could potentially damage flexible drilling or reaming shafts and could potentially cause serious injury to the patient.
