Description

Stryker AutoPlex System. Model Numbers 0607-687-000, 0605-887-000, 0605-687-000, and 0605-683-000. For bone cement. Stryker AutoPlex System kits contain a cement mixer, cement injector, funnel, and an extension tube assembly whereby bone cement powder and liquid monomer are mixed inside a chamber and transferred into a cement injector automatically. The bone cement is then dispensed directly into a fracture site using the cement injector and introducer needle combination.

Reason

The Piston Head can become separated from the Delivery Piston, blocking the injection assembly Valve resulting in a cement backflow towards the injector handle. Potential for delay in surgery if additional cement needs to be prepared for the injection procedure.
