Synchro Guide Wires Recalled for Inadequate Endotoxin Testing
Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 2,859 Synchro guide wires in multiple configurations due to inadequate endotoxin testing during manufacturing. The devices may exceed acceptable endotoxin limits, increasing the risk of 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: FDA Class II recall without reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical—devices may exceed endotoxin limits due to inadequate testing—with potential for serious complications (fever, shock, aseptic meningitis) but no confirmed patient harm reported. This fits the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
Plain-English summary
Stryker Neurovascular is recalling multiple configurations of Synchro guide wires. During manufacturing, these devices did not meet the minimum sample size required for endotoxin testing. This noncompliance with AAMI ST72 standards means the devices may have endotoxin levels exceeding acceptable limits.
High endotoxin levels may increase the risk of fever, shock, and aseptic meningitis.
The recall affects 2,859 units distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States. The recalled products are Synchro .014" guide wires (35 cm tip, Catalog M00313010; 300 cm length, Catalog M00313310) and Synchro .010" soft straight wires (200 cm, Catalog M00316310; 300 cm, Catalog M00316330).
