What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II medical device recall with a documented manufacturing defect affecting critical device function. The defect poses a direct risk of suction loss during surgical procedures, meeting the criteria for high-severity risk-of-harm products where no injuries have yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation is recalling certain Neptune 3 Rover and Neptune S Rover surgical suction systems. The affected models are: 100V NEPTUNE 3 ROVER JAPANESE (0703-003-000), 120V NEPTUNE S ROVER (0711-001-000), 230V NEPTUNE 3 ROVER ENGLISH (0703-002-000ENG), and 230V NEPTUNE 3 ROVER SPANISH (0703-002-000ES).

The recall affects 21 units distributed domestically to healthcare facilities in Washington, Georgia, and Illinois, as well as internationally to Japan and the Netherlands. Affected devices can be identified by specific lot numbers documented in the FDA recall notice.
Healthcare facilities and users with these devices should immediately contact Stryker Corporation for guidance on inspection, repair, or replacement options.
