Stryker Target Nano Coils Recalled for Manufacturing Defect

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling Target Nano coils because manufacturing damage may reduce stretch resistance, potentially causing 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. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported are assigned a score of 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling specific units of Target Nano coils, including the Target Helical Nano 3mm x 8cm model. The recall affects 45,302 units worldwide, with 8,188 units distributed in the United States.

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

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States, Australia, Canada, and numerous other countries. Specific lot numbers and expiration dates are listed in the agency's recall record. Healthcare providers and patients should consult the FDA recall notice for specific lot details and instructions on how to proceed.
