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 involves a medical device defect that compromises the locking mechanism, posing a risk of harm during surgical procedures, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Trilliant Surgical Ltd. is recalling 28 units of 7, 9, and 11 Hole VL Gridlock Fibula Plates (Part # 300-60-001, 300-60-002, and 300-60-003). These non-sterile, single-use medical devices are intended for use in trauma and reconstructive procedures in small bones.

The recall is due to the affected parts being out of specification. Specifically, the thread depth of the screw holes is insufficient, which potentially limits the ability to engage and lock with associated mating locking screws, resulting in the loss of optimal locking screw functionality.

The affected lots are TSL002595, TSL002596, and TSL002597. The products were distributed in the United States to the states of Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and California. Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using these specific lots and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
