CareFusion Endoscopic Equipment Recalled for Missing Instructions for Use

CareFusion endoscopic equipment packages did not contain required instructions for use. The recall affects 152 units distributed to healthcare facilities in the US and internationally.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling defect—missing Instructions for Use on the device package. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is documentation-related rather than a product defect or confirmed harm.
