Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation has recalled its 3.0MM Neuro Match Head surgical device (REF 5820-107-430, GTIN 04546540467775), used to cut bone and bone cement during neurosurgery. The recall affects 464 units from Lot Number 22174017 with worldwide distribution including the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, and New Zealand.
The issue is that the device inside the package may not match the product information on the outer label. For example, a package labeled as model 5820-107-430 may actually contain a different model such as 5820-107-530, or vice versa. This mismatch creates potential for incorrect instrument use during surgical procedures.
No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this issue. The recall was issued as a Class II medical device recall by the FDA.
