Stryker Recalls Disposable Paper Filters for Sterilization Containers
Stryker is recalling disposable paper filters for sterilization containers because inhomogeneous paper may compromise the sterile barrier during shelf-life.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a potential failure of a sterile barrier, which is a high-risk hazard for medical devices, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, placing it in the 'High' category per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Stryker Craniomaxillofacial Division is recalling 915 packs of Disposable Paper Filters for Sterilization Containers. The affected products are part numbers 29-10911, 29-10912, 29-10913, and 29-10915. These filters are non-sterile medical accessories used in sterilization containers.
The recall was initiated because Stryker became aware that the inhomogeneity of the filter paper might potentially compromise the filter's ability to maintain a sterile barrier during post-sterilization shelf-life. This defect could potentially affect the sterility of items stored in the containers.
The products were distributed worldwide, including in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In the US, they were distributed by Stryker Orthopedics. Users should stop using the affected filters and contact Stryker for instructions on return or replacement.
