Welch Allyn Connex Spot Monitor blood pressure cuffs undeclared natural rubber

Baxter Healthcare is recalling certain Welch Allyn Connex Spot Monitor reusable blood pressure cuffs worldwide because packaging contains an undeclared natural rubber band that may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall with an allergen hazard. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text. The hazard is limited to individuals with latex sensitivity, making this a labeling/undeclared allergen issue rather than a widespread safety crisis.
