Stryker Neurovascular Recalls Stroke Intervention Kits Due to Label Mismatch

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 2 units of Stroke Fast Packs and Trevo Procedure Packs because the carton sleeve labels did not match the physical contents inside.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a labeling error where the sleeve does not match the contents. This is a significant risk of using the wrong device, but no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 2 units of Stroke Fast Packs and Trevo Procedure Packs. The affected products include the Stroke Fast Pack(TM), Trevo(TM) XP, TREVO(TM) XP PROVUE RETRIEVER, 6 mm, 25 mm; Excelsior(TM) XT-27(tm), MICROCATHETER, 150 cm, 6 cm; and AXS Catalyst(TM) 6, Distal Access Catheter, 0.060 in, 132 cm, with UPN M0033PK62523002.

The recall was initiated because the products were manufactured using a carton sleeve where the label contents did not match the physical contents within the pack. This discrepancy could lead to the use of incorrect medical devices during stroke interventions.

The affected lots are QXC10200044 and QXC10200043, both with an expiration date of 28-Aug-18. The products were distributed internationally to Germany, Slovakia, and Israel. Healthcare providers and patients should verify the lot numbers and expiration dates of their devices and contact Stryker Neurovascular for further instructions.
