Stryker implemented a voluntary recall for some of its Target Nano neurovascular coils, according to Mass Device.
Here are six things to know:
1. Stryker said it is recalling some of its coils due to poor stretch resistance.
2. During manufacturing, some of the coils' sutures may have been damaged.
3. When left in the blood flow, the stretched coil may cause thrombus formation. However, Stryker said there is a "remote potential" of this occurring.
4. The recall notice included 28 catalog numbers, with about 1,500 lots of items impacted.
5. Stryker contacted the FDA about the issue.
6. So far, 10 customers have complained about the coils, but Stryker has received no reports of adverse events.
