Mindray DS USA is recalling four DPM 6 patient monitors in Ohio because the included Multi Parameter Module contains a cardiac ST/Arrhythmia analysis feature that is not cleared for marketing.

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. The hazard is a regulatory compliance issue (uncleared feature) rather than a direct physical defect causing injury, and no illnesses or injuries are reported, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
