Why these products were recalled

Within the current Prismaflex set IFU (instructions for use), there is a mistranslation of the Extonian (Eesti) text. The mistranslation indicates contradictory information related to the patient body weight restrictions.

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.
