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

Spineart SA is recalling 9 units of Tryptik 2 C-Plate Self-Tapping Screws because the product labeling displays a sketch of a self-drilling screw instead of the correct self-tapping screw.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is due to a packaging and labeling discrepancy where the wrong screw type is depicted in the drawing. This falls under the 'Low' severity criteria for packaging-only problems or documentation issues, with no reported injuries or functional defects.

Plain-English summary

Spineart SA is recalling 9 units of the Tryptik 2 C-Plate Self-Tapping Polyaxial Screw, 4.5 mm, length 12 mm, reference TRY-PS-45 12-S. The recall is limited to units with batch number 3-5936 that were distributed to California.

The recall was initiated because the product labeling for the Tryptik 2-C-Plate Self Tapping screw, reference TRY-PS 40, Lot 3-5934, contains a sketch or drawing of a self-drilling screw. This labeling discrepancy does not match the actual self-tapping screw product being recalled.

The Tryptik 2C-Plate Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for temporary stabilization of the cervical spine (C2-C7) during spinal fusion. Healthcare providers and patients who have received or used these specific units should contact Spineart SA for further instructions.
