Incomplete seals on sterile product
Stryker is recalling BARD Dynamic XT Steerable catheters that may have incomplete sterile seals. This could lead to infection during medical procedures if the catheter is used without proper sterility.
Incomplete seals on the catheter could allow contamination during medical procedures. This might lead to infections if the catheter is not properly sterilized before use.
Healthcare professionals using the BARD Dynamic XT Steerable catheter for electrophysiology procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters during medical treatments may be affected if the seal is incomplete.
Check for the product number 201104 and lot numbers 4064760, 4336810, 4381356, 4381359, or 4401919 on the catheter packaging or label.

The recall indicates potential incomplete sterile seals, which could lead to infection. Affected units should not be used until the remedy is applied.
Check the product number and lot numbers to see if your catheter is affected. If it is, contact Stryker for further instructions.
