This mdr is being submitted to correct the incorrect fda registration number that was previously submitted under uf/importer report number # 3005445717-2021-00011.Stryker contacted the customer to request additional information on the patient.No response has been received from the customer.Patient fields in which information is not provided were intentionally left blank.Stryker will not request any patient identifying information to be in accordance with regulation (eu) 2016/679 of the european parliament and of the council.The article from a newspaper, not a scientific journal, are observational comments from the customer and not about a special patient case, therefore it is difficult to make a clinical review from the information received in the article.However, the lucas device has been shown in randomised clinical trial to have the same injury pattern as manual cpr.The customer was contacted multiple times however no serial number was provided and the device was not returned for evaluation.No device malfunction or specific instances of injuries were alleged, only general observation of injuries over time.The root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.

Stryker was made aware of the article in kristianstadsbladet, published on 6/22/2021.The article is describing the observations made by the pathologist team regarding the usage of the device on patients.It was observed that the device would potentially cause damage to bones and organs, and cause a greater number of fractures.During autopsies of patients who have died, it was observed that those who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) with the device had significantly greater injuries in comparison to manual cpr.
