The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
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 FDA Class II recall affects a life-critical medical device (defibrillator) with a functional defect that prevents charging and normal operation. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the risk of harm is significant given the critical emergency-response function of the device. Per the severity rubric, this qualifies as a high-risk product where injury has not yet been reported.
