CIVCO Recalls SonoSite Needle Guide Brackets Due to Labeling Defects
CIVCO Medical Instruments is recalling 297 boxes of SonoSite Needle Guide Brackets because some units lack required product labeling.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries. The hazard is limited to missing product labeling, which aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving labeling errors or low-risk issues without reported harm.

These are reusable, non-sterile brackets designed for use with SonoSite L25 series transducers. The recall was initiated on November 2, 2018, and was classified as Class II by the FDA.
