FDA (Devices) recall action 95998
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
There is potential the device inside the package may not match the product information on the outer label (e.g., label states 5820-107-430 but package contains a 5820-107-530 device or vice versa).
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.
