TARGETRecalls & reported problems across all models

We found 114 models of TARGET by Stryker Corporation in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). Together they are named in 1,077 adverse event reports in the FDA's MAUDE database, received between May 6, 2016 and Sep 25, 2026 — classified as 5 deaths, 254 injuries, 817 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Premature Separation” (448 reports).

Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

Recent TARGET adverse event reports

The 15 most recent reports across all models, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.

• MalfunctionSep 25, 2026Migration

  It was reported that during an aneurysm embolization procedure, a first coil (Subject coil) was successfully placed in the aneurysm. A second coil was subsequently introduced but was determined not to be a suitable fit and was retracted into the microcatheter. During retraction of the second coil, the previously implanted first coil (subject coil) was unintentionally withdrawn from its implanted position within the aneurysm. The physician reported no resistance during the event. There was an approximate 10-minute procedural delay. No additional information is available.

• MalfunctionSep 18, 2026Premature Separation

  It was initially reported that during introduction, the subject coil device became stuck within the microcatheter. Subsequent analysis of the returned coil device revealed that it had prematurely detached during use. The subject coil was replaced with a new device, and the procedure was completed successfully with no reported clinical consequences to the patient.

• MalfunctionSep 16, 2026Fracture

  It was reported that the subject coil could not be advanced through the microcatheter. The subject coil was returned for analysis and it was discovered that the subject coil delivery wire was broken/fractured during use. The subject device was replaced, and the procedure was completed successfully. No clinical consequences were reported to the patient due to this event.

• MalfunctionSep 3, 2026Migration

  It was reported that during procedure, the microcatheter was withdrawn at the conclusion of the procedure; however, the subject coil was inadvertently pulled out together with the microcatheter. The procedure was completed successfully. No clinical consequences were reported to the patient due to this event.

• MalfunctionAug 25, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem; Migration

  It was reported that during an aneurysm embolization procedure, a first subject coil was successfully placed in the aneurysm. A second coil was subsequently introduced but was determined not to be a suitable fit and was retracted into the microcatheter. During retraction of the second coil, the first subject coil was unintentionally retracted from its implanted position. The physician reported no resistance during the event. Additional coil placement was subsequently attempted. The event resulted in an approximate 10-minute procedural delay. Additional coil placement was subsequently attempted, after which the aneurysm ruptured. The patient was transferred to neurosurgery for clipping. The physician reported that the patient was not expected to survive. No additional information is available.Update:Additional information received on 16-Sept-2026 confirmed that an aneurysm rupture was reported in association with the subject coil (Third coil). The aneurysm rupture occurred during the attempt to place the subject coil. The patient was transferred to neurosurgery for clipping. The physician reported that the patient was not expected to survive. The event resulted in an approximate 10-

• InjuryAug 25, 2026Inadequacy of Device Shape and/or Size; Device Damaged by Another Device; Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem

  It was reported that during an aneurysm embolization procedure, a first coil was placed in the aneurysm. A second coil was determined not to be a good fit and was retracted into the microcatheter. During retraction, the first coil was also retracted. The physician reported that no resistance was encountered. A new subject coil was then attempted, after which the aneurysm ruptured. The consultant stated that the aneurysm rupture was caused by the coil. The event resulted in a 10-minute surgical delay. The patient was subsequently transferred to the neurosurgery department for clipping. The consultant stated that the patient would most likely not survive. No additional information available

• InjuryJul 31, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem

  It was reported that during the procedure for a small approximately 2 mm blister Posterior Communicating Artery aneurysm and a wide neck Internal Carotid Artery (ICA)-T aneurysm, the physician decided to treat the smaller aneurysm. After unsuccessful attempts with two coils, the physician attempted to implant the subject coil. Even after detachment of the subject coil, it was perceived that the tip of the subject coil was still inside the microcatheter and not fully detached. Thus, a stent was deployed to cover both the aneurysms and also to tack the coil and microcatheter against the vessel wall. the physician then pulled the microcatheter leaving the subject coil detached and implanted inside the aneurysm. The subject device was replaced, and the procedure was completed successfully. There was a surgical delay of 15 min due to the reported event. No clinical consequences were reported to the patient due to this event.

  IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING THE PROCEDURE, AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO DETACH THE SUBJECT COIL, BUT THE SUBJECT COIL FAILED TO DETACH. FORCEFUL TRACTION APPLIED TO SUBJECT COIL DELIVERY WIRE, RESULTED IN BREAKAGE AT THE DISTAL SEGMENT OF THE DELIVERY WIRE. THE DETACHED DISTAL SEGMENT COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED. FOLLOW-UP ANGIOGRAPHY REVEALED SUBJECT COIL PROTRUSION, AND A RESCUE STENT WAS PLACED TO MANAGE THIS COMPLICATION. THE PROCEDURE WAS THEN COMPLETED. THERE WAS A SURGICAL DELAY OF UNKNOWN MINUTES DUE TO THE REPORTED EVENT. NO CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES WERE REPORTED TO THE PATIENT DUE TO THIS EVENT.

• MalfunctionJun 30, 2026Fracture; Expulsion; Premature Separation

  It was reported that during coronary artery fistula procedure, planned for coil embolization. After delivering the guiding catheter to the target position via the radial artery, the physician delivered the microcatheter to the fistula opening. A Stryker coil was delivered, positioned, and successfully detached. The physician then delivered an additional coil. After flushing, delivery was initiated with no resistance. After inserting, the physician was dissatisfied with the result and attempted to reposition the coil 3 times, still unsatisfactory. The physician then attempted to retrieve the subject coil but found it had already detached and could not be retrieved. Angiography confirmed the subject coil had not migrated. The physician then withdrew the delivery wire, and after taken out it was found a metal wire connected at tip of the delivery wire. The physician then used coils and a microcatheter of another brand to continue inserting until satisfied, then concluded the procedure. After the patient went back to ward, the nurse discovered a metal wire at the radial artery occlusion area (external the skin). Following angiography revealed a wire-like structure extending from corona
