Stryker Strykeprobe Outer Sheath Replacement Recalled for Insulation Risk
Stryker is recalling Strykeprobe Outer Sheath Replacements because a length mismatch could cause the probe to melt, compromising insulation and allowing electricity to flow to the patient.
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 electrical injury to patients due to compromised insulation, which is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.
Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation is recalling Strykeprobe Outer Sheath Replacements (REF: 0250070450) due to a potential difference in length between the sheath tube and the sheath/probe. This discrepancy could prevent the base of the probe from being fully seated in the sheath tube, potentially causing the distal tip of the sheath to melt.
The melting of the sheath tip could lead to compromised insulation, resulting in the unintentional flow of electricity to the patient. The affected sheath/probe is packaged separately from the replacement sheath. The recall includes specific lot numbers: 010818-02, 010818-05, 010818-06, 010818-07, 010818-08, 010818-09, 040816-01, and 040816-02.
The product was distributed in the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Colombia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and South Korea. Healthcare providers and patients should stop using the affected devices and contact Stryker Corporation for further instructions.
