Stryker recalls specific humerus screws due to potential blister pack contamination. Affected implants may not be sterile, risking infection after surgery.
Seal integrity of the blister pack may be compromised and sterility cannot be assured
Stryker is recalling certain humerus screws used in bone fixation implants because the blister packs might not be sterile. This could lead to infections if the screws are used in surgery.
The blister pack that holds the screws may have been compromised, meaning the screws might not be sterile. If used in surgery, this could lead to infections in the patient.
Patients who received the recalled screws during surgery are most at risk. The recall applies to specific implant models used in bone fixation procedures.
Check for the catalog number 18964032S on the packaging. The screws are used in bone fixation procedures and were manufactured with lot number K0207C2.
