Reason
Smith & Nephew is initiating a voluntary field corrective action/recall of various batches of the RCI screw due to a carton label error. The carton label incorrectly identifies the screw as a "reverse thread" screw. The screw presented in the package is a standard thread screw, which is correctly identified on the inner pouch label. In the event the screw is presented for use, the user would notice that the device is not a reverse thread screw. The user would replace the screw or use the provided screw to complete the procedure using a clockwise rotation.
