Product Description

Reprocessed Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters and Diagnostic EP Catheter Cables, Model Numbers: D6-DR-252-RT, F6-QF-252RT, 201101, 201104, 401442, 401860, D7-A20-131-RT, 401661, 401972, 401977, 401981, 401982, C6-MR/MST4-SA, CB3434CT. Product Usage: Reprocessed diagnostic EP catheters are indicated for temporary intracardiac sensing, recording, stimulation and electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures. Note: These devices do not support or sustain life. Diagnostic EP Catheter cables are designed as electrode cables with a multi-pin connector on the distal end and the appropriate number of tails on the proximal end. The cables interface an EP catheter with the appropriate external stimulation or recording equipment or serve as an extension cable between an EP catheter and equipment out of immediate reach. Reprocessed diagnostic electrophysiology catheter cables are indicated for use with the appropriate electrode catheter during electrophysiology studies.

Reason for Recall

Stryker Sustainability Solutions is recalling the Reprocessed Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters Cables due to a potential sterility breach in the package seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sterility recalls for medical devices vary in severity. If you have already had a procedure using a potentially non-sterile device, contact your healthcare provider immediately — you may need monitoring for signs of infection. Symptoms to watch for include fever, redness or swelling at the surgical site, unusual pain, or discharge. For devices that have not yet been used, they should be quarantined and returned to the manufacturer per the recall notice. Non-sterile implants can cause serious infections; early detection and treatment are critical.

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.
