Reason for recall

Gridlock screw driver bits for the Gridlock Plating System were identified to be out of specification and have the potential for shallow engagement between the driver and the screw, resulting in an increased likelihood of stripping screw heads intraoperatively. Specifically, the minor diameter of the drive feature is above the specification, potentially reducing the engagement between the driver and the screw head.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
