I.T.S. GmbH Radius Plate PROlock II recalled for inaccurate MRI safety labeling

I.T.S. GmbH's Radius Plate PROlock II (a surgical implant for wrist fractures) has been recalled because new MRI safety testing found the device heats up more than the instructions said it would under certain MRI scanner conditions. The original safety information in the product labeling did not reflect these higher temperature increases.
