Stryker Leibinger Recalls Surgical Drainage Accessories Due to Sterility Labeling Error

Stryker Leibinger is recalling QUINTUBE Monitor Packs and SPG Bulb Drain Systems because non-sterile products were incorrectly labeled as sterile.

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (medical device) where a labeling error could lead to the use of non-sterile items in sterile procedures, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG is recalling specific lots of QUINTUBE Monitor Packs and SPG Bulb Drain Systems, which are accessories to the TLS Surgical Drainage System. The recall involves 619 units distributed worldwide, including the United States, Australia, Canada, Chile, Spain, South Africa, and Taiwan.

The reason for the recall is an incorrect sterility status on the product labels. Specifically, non-sterile products were labeled as sterile. This labeling error could lead to the use of non-sterile medical devices in sterile surgical procedures, posing a risk of infection or other complications.

Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected products immediately. Users should check their inventory for the specific part numbers and lot numbers listed in the recall notice. If the products are found, they should be quarantined and returned to Stryker Leibinger for further instructions.
