Reason

During the use of the TELETOM Series 4 & 6 there is potential for the controls and brakes not to work properly due to fluid intrusion within the control switches and/or the control board assembly.

Action

Stryker sent an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter to all affected customers. The letter identified the product, the problem, and the action to be taken by the customer. A Stryker Representative would visit each account for product inspection. During the inspection the Stryker Representative will remove the control switches and replace them with new control switches. Customers were instructed if any malfunction prior to inspection were noticed customers should call local Technical Support immediately at 800-243-5135.
