Why it was recalled

During routine servicing, it was discovered that one 8mmx55mm Reset screw was assembled with an 8mm tulip head and a 9mm screw. The implant should have consisted of an 8mm tulip head and an 8mm screw. A recall was initiated to remove all remaining screws of the same lot from the field to investigate the nonconformity.
