Stryker GmbH has recalled 7,995 Guide Wires with Ruler Tubes because a metal ring at the end of the instrument may detach from the main body during surgery. The recall affects two specific sizes of the device: the 3x800 mm and 3x1000 mm diameter models. While approximately 7,995 units are affected, there have been no reported incidents or injuries to date.
If the metal ring detaches during a surgical procedure, it could become a foreign object left inside the patient's body or cause delays in the surgery. This poses a risk of internal injury or the need for additional medical procedures to retrieve the detached part.
Quantity: 1588 units
Quantity: 6407 units
