Terumo Overpressure Safety Valve Recall Due to No Flow Reports

Terumo CVS is recalling custom surgical kits containing Overpressure Safety Valves due to reports of no flow through the valve.

What this means for you

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a functional failure (no flow) in a medical device used in surgery, which poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report specific injuries or hospitalizations, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
