Edan iT20 Telemetry Transmitter Recalled for Uncleared Function

Edan Diagnostics is recalling 7 iT20 telemetry transmitters because they include a function not cleared by the U.S. FDA.

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 hospitalizations. The hazard is a regulatory compliance issue (uncleared function) rather than a direct physical injury risk, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
