Olympus Spiration Valve System mislabeled with incorrect model number
Olympus Corporation is recalling 35 units of the Spiration Valve System (SVS-V9-00) due to a mislabeled patient charge label indicating model SVS-V7-00 instead. The incorrect label could confuse healthcare providers about which valve was implanted.
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: FDA Class II recall for a labeling documentation error with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is administrative (incorrect model documentation) rather than a physical device defect, fitting the criterion for minor labeling errors.
