What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a risk of unintentional electrical flow to patients, which constitutes a significant injury risk.
Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation is recalling 525 units of the Strykeprobe Outer Sheath Replacement (REF: 0250070460). The recall involves a potential difference in length between the sheath tube and the sheath/probe. This mismatch could prevent the base of the sheath/probe from being fully seated in the sheath tube, potentially resulting in the distal tip of the sheath melting.
The melting of the sheath tip could lead to compromised insulation, which may result in the unintentional flow of electricity to the patient. The sheath/probe is packaged separately from the outer sheath. The affected products are distributed in the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Colombia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and South Korea.
Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected devices and contact Stryker Corporation for further instructions or replacement. The recall covers specific lot codes listed in the agency documentation.
