Skytron VGA to Fiber Converter Recall for Video Signal Failure
Skytron is recalling 11 VGA to Fiber Converter units for the SkyVision Linx 300 system due to faceplate failures that cause video signal loss on secondary displays.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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. The hazard involves a functional failure of a secondary display component in a medical setting, but the source text explicitly states that video continues on the primary source device, indicating a limited impact on critical functionality without reported injuries.
