Ultroid Sterile Disposable Probes Recalled for Quality System Non-Compliance

Ultroid Technologies is recalling 7,784 sterile disposable probes because they were not manufactured under required quality system controls.

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, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is related to quality system non-compliance rather than a specific high-risk pathogen or structural defect causing harm.
