Why these products were recalled

The Membrane Switch Panel (referred to as "front panel" of the component part number A34-003-207, used on both the D3000 and D3000I Advantage Drive System, contained the incorrect symbology per third edition IEC60606-01 Medical Electrical Equipment: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
