DRG:HYBRiD-XL Insulin Device Recalled for Calibration Failures

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 FDA Class II recall involves a diagnostic device with calibration and control specification failures. No patient illnesses or injuries have been reported. The stated consequence is delay in test results, which constitutes a precautionary operational issue rather than demonstrated safety harm.
