Timeline

17 Nov 2014	Recall initiated by company

24 Dec 2014	Published in enforcement report	+7 days

Reason for recall

Stryker Endoscopy is recalling Laparoscopic manual instruments and accessories because the parameters provided in the Laparoscopic Manual Instruments Instructions for Use (IFU 1000-401-070 Revision G or prior) do not support the unwrapped Gravity cycle and the Ethylene Oxide cycle sterilization methods.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
