What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: This is a voluntary precautionary recall for a labeling defect that could theoretically obscure anatomy during a procedure, but no injuries or illnesses are reported.
Plain-English summary
Merit Medical Systems, Inc. is voluntarily recalling one lot (B507171) of RAD BOARD RB 100 devices. The affected devices are missing the main label which graphically depicts patient orientation on the board.

The recall affects 11 units distributed worldwide, including the United States (NJ, TX, WV, MN, GA) and internationally to Mexico and Japan. No specific instructions for consumers are provided in the source text.
