Arjo, Inc. is recalling 2,859 Flowtron Trio DVT Pumps because they were marketed without proper FDA approval.

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, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is regulatory (lack of approval) rather than a specific physical defect causing harm.
