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, and the hazard involves a risk of harm (stripping screw heads) during a medical procedure, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Trilliant Surgical Ltd. is recalling 108 units of 2.4, 3.0, and 4.0 mm Gridlock Screw Driver Bits, Model Number 310-30-003, Lot Number TSL002605. These non-sterile medical devices are intended for use with the Gridlock Plating System for trauma and reconstructive procedures of small bones.

The recall was initiated because the screw driver bits were identified to be out of specification. Specifically, the minor diameter of the drive feature is above the specification, which potentially reduces the engagement between the driver and the screw head. This defect has the potential for shallow engagement, resulting in an increased likelihood of stripping screw heads intraoperatively.

The affected units were distributed to facilities in New York, Ohio, California, South Carolina, New Jersey, Arizona, Virginia, Indiana, Florida, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Georgia, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, and Texas. Healthcare facilities should stop using the affected lots and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or replacement.
