Stryker has issued its recall due to the risk that the core wire may separate or break when it is being retracted during its use. If this happens, parts of the core wire may be left in a person’s body (within a blood vessel or tissue). There are adverse health risks associated with the use of the device, including additional blockage of blood vessels, disability, bleeding, and death. Altogether, there have been eleven reports of illness or injury due to the use of the device and one fatality.
