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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall for reported pressure shifts and incorrect pressure readings in a critical blood sampling system. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source, measurement errors in equipment used for blood collection represent a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity.
