Stryker Mako Vizadisc Knee Procedure Tracking Kit Recalled for Detection Issues

Mako Surgical Corporation is recalling specific lots of the Stryker Mako Vizadisc Knee Procedure Tracking Kit because the reflective material may be damaged, preventing camera detection.

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 describes a functional defect (inability to be detected by camera) without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or fatalities, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
