Punctured blister packages were detected during the packaging process at the manufacturing site. Potential for device contamination.
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.
