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 involves a medical device with a functional defect that could lead to unintended oxygen delivery, representing a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Precision Medical, Inc. is recalling 315 units of Easy Dial Oxygen Regulators, model numbers 168708D and 168715D. The affected units are identified by lot numbers 072215 and 072315. These devices were distributed in the US to the states of PA, MA, MO, MT, ID, MI, MN, ND, KY, NY, NC, CA, AL, AZ, LA, OH, TX, GA, IN, and OK.

The recall was initiated because the settings label on these regulators could be off by one position. For the 15-liter regulator, when the indicator arrow points to the OFF position, the regulator is actually set to 0.50 liters per minute. For the 8-liter regulator, when the indicator points to OFF, the regulator is actually set to 0.25 liters per minute. This discrepancy means the device may deliver oxygen when the user believes it is turned off.

Consumers who possess these specific model and lot numbers should stop using the devices and contact Precision Medical, Inc. for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
