What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk of electrical injury during high-energy medical procedures, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury potential.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Medical Division of Stryker Corporation is recalling 11,160 units of MA3320-PM Premium Adult SYK Mistral-Air Premium Blankets (Model # MA3302-PM, Catalog # MA3302-PM). The affected units are identified by lot numbers 1640002 and 1645003 and were distributed in the U.S.

The recall was initiated because the blankets may be capable of conducting electricity during defibrillation or cardioversion therapy at higher energy levels (70 Joules or more) if the blanket is applied with the reflective side toward the patient (upside down). This specific orientation creates a risk of electrical conduction during high-energy procedures.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for these specific model and lot numbers. If the product is found, it should be removed from use and returned to Stryker or the distributor according to the recall instructions.
