Stryker recalls Advanced T2 Tibia Compression Screws (Catalog 18220001S) due to potential blister pack compromise affecting sterility. This single-use medical implant may not be sterile if the packaging is damaged.
Seal integrity of the blister pack may be compromised and sterility cannot be assured
Stryker is recalling a specific type of bone fixation screw because the blister pack might be damaged, which could mean the screw isn't sterile when used. This is a serious risk for patients undergoing surgery since medical implants must be sterile.
The blister pack that holds the screw may become damaged, which could allow contamination. Since these are single-use medical implants, any loss of sterility could lead to infection or other complications during surgery.
Patients who received this specific bone screw implant during surgery are affected. Surgeons and medical facilities using this product for temporary bone fixation are at highest risk.
Check for the catalog number 18220001S on the blister pack. This product was sold with lot number K020791 and is used for temporary bone fixation.
Immediately discard the screw if you have it, as it may not be sterile.
No, the product may not be sterile if the blister pack is compromised, so it should not be used.
Look for the catalog number 18220001S on the blister pack, which was sold with lot number K020791.
