MediPress Pneumatic Compression System Recalled for Lack of Clearance

Compass Health Brands is recalling MediPress pneumatic compression systems because a design change lacked proper FDA premarket clearance.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 indicates a regulatory documentation issue (lack of 510(k) clearance) rather than a specific physical defect or reported injury, aligning with the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling/documentation issues or voluntary precautionary recalls.
