Stryker Corporation is recalling its StrykeFlow Disposable Suction/Irrigator devices because irrigation solution can leak into the handpiece and battery pack. This fluid leakage can cause the device to malfunction or stop working during a medical procedure. The recall includes models sold both with and without disposable tips, specifically catalog numbers 0250070500 and 0250070520. While Stryker has received complaints regarding leakage and malfunctions, no specific number of injuries has been disclosed.
If irrigation fluid enters the battery pack or internal handpiece components, the device may fail to operate correctly or lose power entirely. This can cause surgical delays or require medical staff to replace the device mid-procedure, potentially impacting patient care.
