Plain-English summary
Stryker Endoscopy is recalling 6,388 units of the Stryker brand Arthroscope and Hardware Set Tray (Model/Part Number: 233-032-116). The product is a sterilization tray used to hold and protect arthroscopes and arthroscopic hardware devices during the sterilization process. The tray consists of an interlocking tray and lid with perforations to allow the passage of sterilizing agents.
The recall was initiated because the firm's evaluation identified that the original validation for gravity steam, Ethylene Oxide (EO), and STERRAD 100S sterilization methods was not performed at worst-case conditions. As a result, these specific sterilization methods are being removed from the product's Instructions for Use.
The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States. No specific serial or lot numbers are excluded; the recall applies to all serial/lot numbers for this model. Users should stop using the affected trays for the sterilization methods listed in the recall notice and refer to the updated Instructions for Use provided by the manufacturer.
