Stryker Target Nano Coils Recalled for Reduced Stretch Resistance

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling Target Nano coils because manufacturing damage may have reduced their stretch resistance, potentially leading to increased coil stretching.

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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a structural defect in a medical device intended for neurovascular use, which poses a risk of harm (increased coil stretching) even though no specific injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling specific units of Target Detachable Coils, specifically the Target Helical Nano 1 mm x 3 cm model (M0035431030). The recall affects 45,302 units worldwide, with 8,188 units distributed in the United States. The products were distributed globally, including in the US, Australia, Canada, and numerous European and Asian countries.

The recall was initiated because Stryker Neurovascular determined that some units do not have the intended stretch resistance. The company identified that the sutures inside the coil, which provide this resistance, may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. This defect can lead to an increased occurrence of coil stretching.

The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers, nor does it report any illnesses or injuries associated with the defect. Healthcare providers and patients should consult the FDA or the manufacturer for specific instructions on how to manage the affected devices.
