Screws had a manufacturing error that could prevent the screw from mating with the screw inserter or set screw as intended. This event was reported to FDA as part of Stryker's retrospective review of K2M product field actions; the action was completed in 2018.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
