Stryker Corporation is recalling 19 Portal Entry Kits (REF: CAT00241) because these medical kits were distributed after they had already expired. Each kit contains essential surgical tools including a skin marker, disposable ruler, two FlexSticks, a 30 ml syringe, and two 17-gauge needles. These kits are used by surgeons to establish arthroscopic portals and joint access during procedures.
Using expired medical devices can compromise the sterility of the instruments or the integrity of the materials, potentially leading to infections or surgical complications. No specific injuries have been reported to date, but the distribution of expired product is a violation of safety standards.
