Spineart Recalls Tryptik 2 C-Plate Screws Due to Labeling Error

Spineart SA is recalling 120 units of Tryptik 2 C-Plate Self-Tapping Screws because the product labeling incorrectly displays a sketch of a self-drilling screw.

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, and the hazard is a minor labeling error (incorrect sketch) without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

The recall was initiated because the product labeling for the self-tapping screw contains a sketch or drawing of a self-drilling screw. This labeling discrepancy may cause confusion regarding the specific type of screw being used.

The affected units were distributed in the United States to the state of California. Healthcare providers and facilities that have received this specific lot of Tryptik 2 C-Plate Self-Tapping Screws should stop using them and contact Spineart SA for further instructions.
