Wright Medical Recalls Crosscheck Plating System Due to Specification Defects

Wright Medical Technology is recalling 233 units of the Crosscheck Plating System because dimensional specifications are out of tolerance, posing a risk of intraoperative malfunction.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is Class II, and the source text explicitly states the defect 'may result in intraoperative malfunction,' which constitutes a significant injury risk during a medical procedure.
