Stryker AHTO Tube Set Recalled for High Bioburden Levels

Stryker is recalling AHTO Tube Sets labeled sterile because routine testing found bioburden levels higher than internal acceptable rates.

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, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is identified through routine testing rather than reported adverse events, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
