Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Accutron is recalling the Flowmeter (Analgesia Gas Machine) because when it flows Nitrous Gas without Oxygen gas being turned on, it functions in an incorrect manner."
