Stryker Myoma Drill Recalled Due to Sterilization Instructions

Stryker Endoscopy is recalling Myoma Drill instruments because the instructions for use do not support specific sterilization methods.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the specific issue is a documentation error regarding sterilization instructions without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a low-severity documentation issue.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Endoscopy is recalling 180,573 units of the Myoma Drill 10mm Length 320mm (P/N 0250080134). These laparoscopic manual instruments are intended for cutting, holding, grasping, and manipulating tissue and organs during surgery. The recall covers units distributed worldwide, including the United States and numerous international locations.

The recall was initiated because the parameters provided in the Laparoscopic Manual Instruments Instructions for Use (IFU 1000-401-070 Revision G or prior) do not support the unwrapped Gravity cycle and the Ethylene Oxide cycle sterilization methods. This documentation issue affects the proper sterilization of the devices.

Healthcare providers and facilities that have received these instruments should stop using them and contact Stryker Endoscopy for further instructions on the recall process.
