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.

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 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

Spineart SA is recalling 8 units of the Tryptik 2 C-Plate Self Tapping Polyaxial Screw, 4.5 mm, length 18 mm, reference TRY-PS-45 18-S. The recall is limited to units with batch number 3-5939 that were distributed in 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 error does not match the specific 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 these specific units should contact Spineart SA for further instructions.
