Civco Belly Board Recalled Due to Misaligned Scales
Civco Medical Instruments is recalling 138 belly boards because scales may be misaligned from the zero reference, potentially affecting measurement accuracy.
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, and the defect involves a functional measurement error (misaligned scales) rather than a direct physical hazard like injury or contamination, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Civco Medical Instruments Inc is recalling 138 units of the Civco Belly Board, a reusable non-sterile carbon fiber belly board with cushion (REF 125012). The device is intended to reduce the irradiated small bowel volume of gynecological patients undergoing treatment in the pelvic region.
