Product Description

Stryker Part Numbers 79-43903 (3cc), 79-43905 (5cc), 79-43910 (10 cc), 79-43915 (15cc), 397003 (3cc), 397005 (5cc), 397010 (10 cc), 397015 (15 cc) HydroSet Injectable HA Bone Substitute Sterile R/EO, nonpyrogenic, Product of Ireland Stryker Injectable Cement is a self-setting, calcium phosphate cement intended for use in the repair of neurosurgical burr holes, contiguous craniotomy cuts and other cranial defects as well as in the augmentation or restoration of bony contour in the craniofacial skeleton. The powder is mixed with the sodium phosphate/PVP solution provided in the kit and loaded into the empty cement delivery syringe to be applied directly to the site for void filling or augmentation.

Reason for Recall

Stryker received reports of the desiccant bag in the kit leaking silica gel granulate. This could increase exposure to anesthesia during surgical delay up to 60 minutes or inadvertent implantation of silica gel granulate which could cause foreign body reaction including inflammation and might lead to the need for revision surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.

Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.

What Should You Do?

Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
