FDA (Devices) recall action 97953
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
Stryker has issued a voluntary recall of certain MV3 beds and Arise 1000EX mattresses because some of these products have been sold in close proximity, suggesting a potential intent for them to be used together. These products have not been tested for compatibility and thus are not designed to be used together. The combination of both is not recommended by Stryker.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
