Stryker Communications has recalled 40 units of the Chromophare Surgical Light System and SLX to Oculan NFC Upgrade Kits. Stress lines have been found forming on the light's powder coating, indicating that the coating may chip and flake off. If this occurs during a medical procedure, the fragments could fall into a sterile surgical area, posing a risk to patients. Users should stop using the affected equipment and contact the manufacturer to coordinate a repair or replacement.
The powder coating on the surgical lights can chip and fall into an open surgical site. This contamination increases the risk of infection or other medical complications for patients undergoing surgery.
