Stryker Instruments would like to inform healthcare professionals on the labelling update for bone cement products VertaPlex, VertaPlex HV and SpinePlex Radiopaque. The previous labelling was determined by Stryker Instruments to have adequately addressed the product risks, but the terminology was not specifically aligned to the FDA’s request. Therefore Stryker updated the labels to align with the industry-wide label update initiated by the US FDA. Please refer to the letter for details.
