Stryker Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG has recalled 705 units of its Scopis ENT Software with TGS (Software Version: NOVA 3.6.0 RC16) used in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. This recall was initiated because unreleased software was incorrectly installed on customer systems, causing the visual feedback on the navigation screen to appear in the wrong location compared to the actual physical position of surgical pointers or suction tools. If you have been treated using one of these systems or operate this equipment, you should be aware that surgeons may receive inaccurate guidance during delicate sinus procedures. Consumers and healthcare providers should contact the manufacturer for further instructions regarding a potential update or corrective action.
The software defect causes a misalignment between the digital markers on the surgical screen and the actual physical location of the instruments inside the patient's sinus cavity. This visual discrepancy could lead a surgeon to navigate incorrectly, potentially causing accidental damage to sensitive surrounding structures during a procedure.
