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.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).

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.
