    Description

    Stryker Thor Anterior Plating System; Non Sterile Thor Standard Long Screw 6.0 x 40MM, spinal implant component

    Reason

    Surgeons may apply an accidental axial torque to and/or over-angulate the All-In One Guide while implanting the screw. This may cause the screw not to seat properly in the locking ring and may cause the Thor screwdrivers to twist or break at the tip.

    Action

    Recall notification letters were sent to all Stryker branches, Hospital Risk Management and Surgeons on October 19, 2009 by Federal Express. Questions are to be directed to Tiffani Rogers, Regulatory Compliance Manager at 201-760-8206.
