Stryker Neurovascular is recalling approximately 8,011 neurovascular devices, including various Trevo retrievers, microcatheters, guide wires, and FlowGate kits. These devices did not meet the required testing standards for endotoxins during manufacturing, which means they may contain levels of bacterial toxins that exceed safety limits. This recall affects a wide range of surgical equipment used in neurovascular procedures worldwide.
Exposure to high levels of endotoxins through these medical devices can trigger a dangerous immune response. This may lead to high fever, septic shock, and aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the brain lining), posing a serious health risk during or after surgery.
