Progressive Medical is recalling PTFE Coated Disposable Electrosurgical Electrodes because the product coatings require 510K approval.

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, and the hazard is a regulatory compliance issue regarding 510K approval rather than a direct physical defect causing harm.
