Why these products were recalled

The affected devices are manufactured to the same design specification as products intended for sale and use in the US but do not contain the FDA approved labeling (i.e., IFU and Patient Information Brochure). The affected devices were distributed in the US with the IFU intended for use outside of the US

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.
