Stryker recalls 5.0mm x 45cm Strykeprobe outer sheath replacements due to potential electrical hazards from improper seating of the sheath/probe tip.
Potential diff. in the length of the sheath tube and the sheath/probe. A diff. in length could lead to the base of the sheath/probe not being fully seated in the sheath tube which could result in the distal tip of the sheath melting. This could lead to a compromised insulation, leading to unintentional flow of electricity to the patient. The sheath/probe is packaged separately.
Stryker is recalling outer sheath replacements for their 5.0mm x 45cm Strykeprobe electrosurgical probes. The recall is due to a risk that the sheath/probe might not seat properly, which could cause the distal tip to melt and create an electrical hazard for patients.
The sheath tube and sheath/probe may have different lengths, causing the base of the sheath/probe not to fully seat in the tube. This could lead to the distal tip melting, compromising insulation and causing unintended electrical flow to the patient.
Healthcare professionals using Stryker's 5.0mm x 45cm Strykeprobe electrosurgical probes for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these procedures could be affected if the electrical hazard occurs.
