Plain-English summary

Stryker Sustainability Solutions is recalling Disposable 5 Lead Cable and Lead Wire Systems (model LW-309DS50/5A) distributed nationwide. The recalled packages should contain approved lead systems and dual connect cables, but may instead contain different ECG leads that are not approved for reprocessing.

The non-approved ECG leads in the affected packages may have been reprocessed. Because these specific leads are not designed to be reprocessed, they may not perform correctly when used, potentially affecting patient monitoring during medical procedures.

Approximately 38,850 units were distributed across 12 states: Florida, Wyoming, Arizona, California, Louisiana, Texas, Michigan, Oregon, Colorado, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

Healthcare facilities that have received these cables should check their inventory against the provided lot numbers. If you have the recalled product, contact Stryker Sustainability Solutions immediately. Do not use these devices if they contain non-approved ECG leads.
