Pacific Medical Ultrasound Transducers Recalled for Lack of FDA Clearance
Pacific Medical Group Inc. is recalling GE Corometrics Nautilus Ultrasound Transducers because they were distributed before receiving required FDA 510(k) and international clearances.
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. The hazard is regulatory (lack of clearance) rather than a confirmed physical defect causing harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
