Stryker Neurovascular has observed that devices with Out of United States (OUS) approved Instructions for Use (IFU) and Packaging Labels (pouch and carton), different configurations, have been erroneously distributed to customers in the US.
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.
