Stryker recalls 5.0mm x 32cm Strykeprobe outer sheath replacements due to potential electrical hazard 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 certain Strykeprobe electrocautery probes. If the sheath tube and probe don't fit properly, the probe tip could melt, causing electrical current to flow to the patient.
The sheath tube and probe may not seat properly, causing the probe tip to melt. This could compromise insulation and lead to unintended electrical current flowing to the patient during medical procedures.
