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

Spineart SA is recalling 8 units of Tryptik 2 C-Plate Self Tapping screws because the product labeling incorrectly displays a sketch of a self-drilling 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 for a labeling error (incorrect sketch) with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'Low' severity criteria for documentation or packaging-only problems.

Plain-English summary

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 error does not match the specific product being recalled.
