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.

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 (lack of clearance) rather than a reported physical injury, fitting the Moderate category for low-risk or precautionary issues without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Compass Health Brands is recalling the MediPress pneumatic compression system Full Leg (Short)-Segmental Gradient, Model #6103S-S. The recall affects all serial numbers and lots of this specific model.

The recall was initiated because a product design change did not receive proper premarket clearance and lacks a 510(k). This regulatory deficiency means the device was not fully cleared by the FDA for its current configuration.

The affected devices were distributed domestically to numerous states including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, New York, and Texas, as well as internationally to Canada. Consumers who possess this device should contact Compass Health Brands for instructions on how to proceed.
