Inspire Respiratory Sensing Lead Model 4340 Serial Number Label Mismatch

FDA recall of 152 Inspire Model 4340 Respiratory Sensing Lead units due to a labeling error—the serial number printed on the product box does not match the actual serial number of the device inside.

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: This is a FDA Class II labeling error with no reported illnesses, injuries, or adverse events. The hazard is a documentation issue—a mismatch between the box label and device serial number—rather than a physical safety risk, consistent with the rubric's classification of minor labeling errors as Moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

The Inspire Model 4340 Respiratory Sensing Lead is a component of the Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) system used to treat sleep apnea. The FDA has issued a Class II recall of 152 units of this device due to a labeling error.

The issue is a mismatch between the serial number printed on the product's shelf box and the actual serial number of the respiratory sensing lead contained within the box.
