Stryker Neurovascular has observed an increased frequency of PTFE coating damage occurring on the Synchro Guidewires that may be caused by the practice of backloading the guidewire through the optional introducer accessory. This issue is limited to certain lots of the Synchro Guidewire that contain an older version of the introducer accessory. Due to variation in the manufacturing process of the supplier of the introducer accessory, certain lots of introducers have sharper than intended edges that can peel off the PTFE coating when physicians use a technique known as backloading. Users with impacted product in their inventory are cautioned not to use this backloading technique.

Neurovascular devices did not meet the minimum sample size required for endotoxin testing during manufacturing processes and are out of compliance with the AAMI ST72 standard, so these devices may exceed the acceptable limits of endotoxin levels; high levels of endotoxins may increase the risk of fever, shock and aseptic meningitis.

Stryker Neurovascular is recalling their DAC- Distal Access Catheter -038 136cm, a Distal Access Catheter by removal. The reason for the recall is: the DAC Lot #0000486382 was released with out-of-specification endotoxin results.
Microcatheter product label on the carton is missing the microcatheter product drawing/illustration.
Increase in fracture complaints of the flexible, tapered core wire, resulting in stent retriever separation from the core wire during use. The stent retriever can be left behind in the vasculature.
The firm has become aware of a potential problem that their Catheters may break/fracture and/or kink/bend if improperly removed from the packaging/dispenser hoop or during catheter use.

Labeling error; 8F Balloon Guide Catheters have been packaged within 9F Balloon Guide Catheter packaging
A design related issue can contribute to the device exhibiting brittle behavior. This behavior may result in fractures of the catheter shaft.
The AXS Infinity LS Long Sheath Dilator outer diameter (OD) specification was exceeded.
Use-related coating damage on delivery catheter shafts of Wingspan delivery catheters were reported
Class I - Dangerous
There may be product manufactured with the outer diameter of the balloon catheter exceeding the defined specification at a customer location. If the user experiences resistance between the FlowGate and an interfacing device, the device would be removed and a second device would be used, which could potentially prolong a procedure.
