Stryker Neuroform 3 Stent System Recalled for Labeling Mismatch

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 23 units of the Neuroform 3 Microdelivery Stent System because the model numbers on the outer carton and inner pouch labels do not match.

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, and the source text identifies the issue as a labeling mismatch without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or deaths. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving labeling errors or low-risk issues.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 23 units of the Stryker brand Neuroform 3 Microdelivery Stent System. The affected units are the 4.5 mm x 20 mm size, with REF Catalog Number E345020 and Model/Product Number M003450200. The product is manufactured by Boston Scientific Corporation and distributed by Stryker Neurovascular. The recall involves units with Lot 15391019 and an expiration date of 2015-07.

The recall was initiated because the device is labeled incorrectly. The Model Number on the outer carton states UPN M003E345020 (4.5mm x 20 mm Neuroform 3 Stent), while the inner pouch label states UPN M003E3450300 (4.5mm x 30 mm Neuroform 3 Stent). Although both labels reference the same lot number, the mismatch in model numbers creates a labeling discrepancy.

The affected units were distributed internationally, including to Austria, China, and Germany. The Neuroform Microdelivery Stent System is intended for use with embolic coils for the treatment of wide neck, intracranial, saccular aneurysms. No specific consumer actions are detailed in the source text beyond the identification of the recall.
