Welch Allyn Spot Vital Signs 4400 Device Blood Pressure Cuff Recall

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling certain Welch Allyn Spot Vital Signs 4400 blood pressure cuff devices due to undeclared natural rubber bands in the packaging, which poses an allergy risk.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving allergen mislabeling (undeclared natural rubber). No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is allergen exposure for susceptible individuals, which is a known risk but has not resulted in reported harm, placing it in the Moderate category per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling certain configurations of reusable blood pressure cuffs that are part of the Welch Allyn Spot Vital Signs 4400 Device system. The recall affects 34,187 units distributed worldwide.

The reason for the recall is the presence of an undeclared natural rubber band within the packaging of certain configurations. Natural rubber is a known allergen, and the lack of declaration on the product labeling creates a risk for individuals with latex or natural rubber allergies.
