Stryker Recalls Hip Implant Devices

On January 22, 2008, Stryker Corp. issued a statement in response to the warning letter issued by the FDA on November 28, 2007.

The warning letter, which was published on the FDA Web site on January 15, 2008, became the subject of concern for many patients who are experiencing pain and other difficulties after having a Stryker hip implant device surgically implanted.

Stryker’s response states, in part:

    The Company takes these matters very seriously and has been cooperating fully with the FDA to address questions related to the FDA's observations of Stryker's internal process specifications. As part of a comprehensive review of internal processes following the FDA's observations, the Company conducted an investigation into a deviation from its internal specifications and processes for the Trident PSL and Hemispherical Acetabular Cups manufactured in its Cork, Ireland facility.

As a result of Stryker’s investigation, they have issued a voluntary recall of the Trident PSL and Hemispherical Acetabular Cups that were manufactured in the company’s Irish facility. The recall does not involve any devices produced in the company’s Mahwah, New Jersey, facility.
