    Reason

    This recall has been initiated due to Pull Pins that may disengage from the Facet Screw during the compression step, requiring that compression be completed with a device driver rather than the compression tool. Use of this product may result in less than optimal compression leading to pseudoarthrosis, non-union or facet pain.
