Stryker recalls certain Femoral Nails (A/R, R1500 T2 Femur 12x360 mm) due to potential reduced strength causing premature breakage. Affected products have specific product numbers and lot codes.
The manufacturer has discovered that potentially out-of-specification products may have left the factory. Non-conforming cannulation of the nails may result in reduced component strength and potentially premature nail breakage.
Stryker is recalling certain femoral nails that may have been made with reduced strength, increasing the risk of premature breakage during use. This could lead to complications for patients needing surgery.
The nails may have been produced with specifications that don't meet quality standards. This could cause the nails to break earlier than expected during surgical procedures, potentially leading to complications.
Patients who have received this specific femoral nail during surgery are most at risk. Medical professionals using the product for surgical procedures may also be affected.
Check for the product number 18281236S, lot code K076A7C, and the specific size 12x360 mm on the nail packaging or label. The product was sold with the GTIN 04546540200686.
