Stryker Corporation is recalling 14 units (expanded to 21 units) of the Neptune 3 and Neptune S Rovers, which are surgical suction systems used in medical procedures. This recall was initiated because bolts on the vacuum pump filter housing and the flange plate were not properly tightened during manufacturing. This defect can lead to insufficient suction or a total loss of suction force during a procedure, though no injuries have been reported to date.
The loose bolts can cause the suction system to malfunction or fail entirely while it is being used during surgery. This loss of suction could delay medical procedures or prevent the necessary removal of fluids from a patient's body, posing a risk to patient safety.
