One lot of MatrixNEURO 5mm screws was packaged in a body clip etched "4", which indicated a 4mm screw. The outer package labeling correctly identifies a 5mm screw, but the body clop incorrectly identifies a shorter length for the screw.
There is a possibility that the inner cap could open when the outer cap is removed or the entire inner tube remains in the outer tube. In both instances this could prevent the screw from being removed and used causing a surgical delay. The inner tube should remain closed and retained in the outer cap when presented to the sterile field.
