Plain-English summary

Stryker Corporation is recalling 307 units of the 1.2mm Cross Cut Fissure saw blade (Catalog Number 5820-066-012, Lot Number 22329017). The product is intended for use in cutting, drilling, reaming, decorticating, shaping, and smoothing bone, bone cement, and teeth in various surgical procedures, including dental, ENT, neuro, spine, and endoscopic applications.

The recall is issued because the devices may exhibit endotoxin levels greater than 2.15 EU/device. Exposure to endotoxin at these levels may result in fever and inflammation. Meningitis may occur if the endotoxin comes into contact with cerebrospinal fluid, making patients undergoing neurosurgical or spinal procedures the population at greatest risk.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and Colombia. Healthcare providers and consumers should stop using the affected devices and contact Stryker Corporation for further instructions or a return.
