Plain-English summary
Stryker is recalling the Mako Integrated Cutting System (MICS) Handpiece, Catalog Number 209063, due to a discovered characterization issue. The MICS Handpiece is attached to the distal end of the robotic arm and is used to register the RIO and to execute bone preparation during Mako Total Knee or Mako Partial Knee procedures using PKA Software Application 3.0 or later.
The issue may result in unsuccessful checkpoint verification when the Mako System attempts to verify the location of the saw blade prior to bone preparation. Additionally, the issue may cause a discrepancy during bone preparation in Mako Total Knee or Mako Partial Knee procedures where the surgeon uses a straight or angled saw attachment with the MICS Handpiece. This can lead to the surgeon making cuts during bone preparation that differ from the surgeon's preoperative plan.
The recall involves 367 units distributed worldwide, including the United States, Australia, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Chile, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the UK. Healthcare providers and facilities should contact Stryker for further instructions on how to proceed with the affected devices.
