The MICS Handpiece is attached to the distal end of the robotic arm and is used to register the RIO and to execute bone preparation during a Mako Total Knee or Mako Partial Knee procedure (PKA Software Application 3.0 or later). This issue may result in unsuccessful checkpoint verification when the Mako System attempts to verify the location of the saw blade prior to bone preparation.  This issue may also cause a discrepancy during bone preparation in a Mako Total Knee or a Mako Partial Knee procedure in which the surgeon uses a straight or angled saw attachment with the MICS Handpiece. The surgeon may make cuts during bone preparation that differ from the surgeon s preoperative plan.",

However, it was found that none of these devices were distributed to a customer.  Therefore, they were removed from the attachment in the letter and are within Stryker control.    Serial Numbers added to the recall letter: 4209292, 4209646, 4209841, 4202629, 4203963; reason:   These devices were originally thought to be in Stryker control, but were shipped to customers.      Serial Numbers added to the recall letter:  4209917, 4209922, 4209924; reason:  These devices were shipped to Stryker OUS distributor and were thought to be distributed to customers.  (Firm later confirmed that the units are under Stryker control.)"
