Why these products were recalled

Select CardioMEMS PA Sensors (Model CM2000) operate outside of the intended frequency range at higher elevations when readings are taken over approximately 2,000 ft. (610 meters) above sea level; operation outside of the intended radiofrequency has the potential to result in inaccurate readings or sensor signal acquisition difficulties.

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.
