Stryker Recalls Reprocessed Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheters Due to Mislabeled French Size

Stryker Sustainability Solutions is recalling four reprocessed Daig Steerable and Daig Supreme Fixed Curve Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheters because they may be mislabeled for French size during reprocessing.

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 is a labeling error (mislabeling for French size) without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

These diagnostic electrophysiology catheters are used for temporary intracardiac sensing, recording, stimulation, and electrophysiology mapping of cardiac structures.
