Neurovascular devices recalled due to inadequate endotoxin testing

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 81 neurovascular devices due to inadequate endotoxin testing. The devices may contain excessive endotoxin levels, which can cause fever, shock, and aseptic meningitis.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a medical device with potential to cause serious harm including fever, shock, and aseptic meningitis. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical—the devices may exceed acceptable endotoxin limits but actual patient impact has not been documented.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 81 DAC 044 115cm neurovascular devices (Catalog 90760, Lot 156628). The devices were distributed worldwide to healthcare facilities in the United States and internationally.

The devices did not meet the minimum sample size required for endotoxin testing during manufacturing and do not comply with the AAMI ST72 standard. This means the devices may exceed acceptable limits of endotoxin levels.

High levels of endotoxins can increase the risk of fever, shock, and aseptic meningitis. Healthcare providers who have received these devices should contact Stryker Neurovascular for further instructions.
