Identified higher-than-expected levels of endotoxin within the raw material used to produce Codman Surgical Patties and Strips that may have resulted in out-of-specification levels of endotoxin in finished goods

It has been determined that certain Convenience kits that were packaged in breather pouch lot 323080002 may result in the potential of using non-sterile product if the vendor seal of the pouch is opened/unsealed.

If digital angiography system is used with a specific catheterization table and the operator directs simultaneous movement of the table and the C-arm using direct memory, then direct memory button is released, the table may continue to move, which the operator can stop by pressing the stop button.

Inflation devices may have a small hole in the sterile barrier of the device and use of affected devices may result in exposure to pathogens/pyrogens which could lead to infection.

May exhibit endotoxin levels greater than 2.15 EU/device, fever and inflammation may occur from endotoxin exposure and meningitis may only occur if there is contact with cerebrospinal fluid and thus, neurosurgical/spinal procedures may be considered a population at greatest risk.

Due to two software anomalies that can occur within a spine procedure. Two issues are: 1. Navigation Orientation - when lateral orientation radiographic images are taken, information may appear flipped when utilizing the system (180 degree flipped). 2. Pop-up Message - when using CT+Fluouroscopy images with a slice spacing thickness greater than 2mm, the system does not display a pop-up message indicating the slice spacing is not optimal.

Stryker Neurovascular has observed that devices with Out of United States (OUS) approved Instructions for Use (IFU) and Packaging Labels (pouch and carton), different configurations, have been erroneously distributed to customers in the US.

Reports have been received regarding open seals on the packaging.

Contaminated equipment and packaging caused Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterobacter asburiae, Enterobacter bugandensis, pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria, to occur in ultrasonic detergent, which caused product bloating/leaking, and if used during medical/dental procedures could result in urinary tract, respiratory, bloodstream infections; workers handling contaminated product/instruments also at risk

Holes have been identified in biopsy instrument packaging trays compromising the sterile barrier, which may lead to cross contamination, or the introduction of micro-organisms into the access site, which could lead to an infectious process, bacteremia, or sepsis.

Due to possible packaging damage (indentations/cuts) cause by manufacturing process. As a result of the packaging damage, may cause the sterile barrier to be compromised.

There is the potential for holes in the clear sterile barrier of the device pouch which may impact device sterility.
