Stryker Endoscopy Recalls Laparoscopic Manual Instruments Due to Sterilization Documentation Error
Stryker Endoscopy is recalling 180,573 units of laparoscopic manual instruments because the instructions for use do not support specific sterilization methods.
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 source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, indicating a theoretical risk or minor labeling/documentation issue rather than a direct harm event.
Plain-English summary
Stryker Endoscopy is recalling 180,573 units of laparoscopic manual instruments, specifically the 3mm Insert Fundus Grasper (P/N 0250282051). These instruments are intended for cutting, holding, grasping, and manipulating tissue and organs during laparoscopic surgery.
The recall was initiated because the parameters provided in the 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. The agency classified this as a Class II recall.
The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and internationally to numerous countries. The source text does not specify any reported illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
