Stryker Waste Management System Recalled After Injuries, Death

Reports of two serious injuries, including one fatality, prompted Stryker to issue a Class I recall of the Neptune Waste Management System. The recall includes the Neptune 1 Gold Rover, Neptune 1 Silver Rover, Neptune Bronze Rover, Neptune 2 Rover Itra and Neptune 2 Rover Ultra. The systems were recalled because their labeling did not specifically warn not to connect the high-vacuum/high-flow devices to passive drainage tubes, and the patients were harmed when caregivers made such connections.
