Why these products were recalled

Vital Signs Colorado (dba CareFusion) is recalling Vital Signs LightWand Stylet catalog numbers 3910 and 3960 due to a potential patient safety risk involving a breach in the sterile packaging that may not be recognized prior to use.

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.
