Stryker Target Detachable Coils Recalled for Manufacturing Defect

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling Target Detachable Coils because manufacturing damage to internal sutures may cause the coils to stretch.

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, and the hazard involves a structural defect in a medical device used for vascular occlusion where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling specific units of Target Detachable Coils, specifically the TARGET 360 NANO 3MM X 6CM model (Model Number M0035443060). These medical devices are intended to endovascularly obstruct or occlude blood flow in vascular abnormalities of the neurovascular and peripheral vessels.

The recall is due to a manufacturing defect where the sutures inside the coil, which provide stretch resistance, may have been damaged. This damage can lead to an increased occurrence of coil stretching, meaning the device may not have the intended stretch resistance.

The recall affects 45,302 units worldwide, with 8,188 units distributed in the United States. The products were distributed nationwide in the US and in numerous other countries including Australia, Canada, and various nations in Europe, Asia, and South America. Healthcare providers and patients should contact Stryker Neurovascular for instructions on how to proceed with the affected devices.
