Oridion Capnostream20 Monitors Recalled for Settings Reset Issue

Oridion Medical is recalling 22 refurbished Capnostream20 bedside monitors because date, time, and alarm settings may reset to factory defaults when powered off.

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 are reported and the hazard is a functional defect (settings reset) rather than a direct physical injury risk, fitting the 'voluntary precautionary recalls' or low-risk defect criteria for a Moderate score.
