Incomplete seals on sterile product
Stryker is recalling BARD Dynamic XT Deca Steerable catheters that may have incomplete sterile seals. This could lead to infections during medical procedures if the catheter is used improperly.
Incomplete seals on the catheter could allow contaminants to enter the sterile field during medical procedures. This increases the risk of infection for patients undergoing electrophysiology treatments.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter for electrophysiology procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters during medical treatments could be affected.
Check for product number 201102 and lot numbers listed in the recall notice. The catheter has a unique device identifier (UDI) starting with 00885825003869.
Verify the product number (201102) and lot numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your catheter is affected.

Check the product number and lot numbers listed in the recall notice to see if your catheter is affected. If it is, contact Stryker for further instructions.
The recall is for potential infection risk, not direct injury. The hazard does not indicate a risk of serious injury in normal use.
