Pacific Medical Nautilus Ultrasound Recalled for Missing Clearances

Pacific Medical Group Inc. is recalling GE Corometrics Nautilus Ultrasound units because fetal transducers were distributed before receiving required FDA 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. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is procedural (missing clearances) rather than a direct physical defect causing harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
