What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a mechanical defect that could lead to the screw pulling out of the bone, which is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been explicitly reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Corporation is recalling 87 units of the Omega 4.75 mm PEEK Knotless Anchor System, Single, REF 3910-500-471. The affected devices are sterile, prescription-only medical implants used for bone anchoring. The recall is limited to specific lot codes: 19113AG2, 19130AG2, 19134AG2, 19115AG2, 19131AG2, 19133AG2, 19154AG2, 19155AG2, 19156AG2, 19157AG2, and 19149AG2.

The recall was initiated after complaints were received regarding difficulty in removing the driver from the screw.

This mechanical failure could result in the use of an additional anchor insertion site in the bone.
