Optovue iVue Recall for Missing 510(k) on Vault Mapping Software

Optovue is recalling 326 iVue devices because FDA determined a 510(k) is needed for the Vault Mapping software.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries were reported, and the hazard is a regulatory documentation issue (missing 510(k)) rather than a direct physical safety defect.
