What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text identifies the issue as a labeling error without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or deaths. This aligns with the rubric for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
Plain-English summary
Synthes (USA) Products LLC is recalling 98 units of 2.7 mm Locking Screws (Part Number 202.212, Lot Number 3420620) with T8 Stardrive Recess 12mm. These screws are part of the Synthes modular Mini Fragment LCP System, which is intended for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions of small bones and small bone fragments.
The recall was initiated because specific lots of the 2.7 mm locking screws were mislabeled as 2.4 mm locking screws. This labeling error could lead to the use of the incorrect screw size during surgical procedures.
The affected units were distributed to the state of Tennessee. Healthcare facilities and providers who have received these specific lots should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
