BiDop 3 pocket Doppler labeling includes uncleared fetal indication
Koven Technology is recalling the BiDop 3 Pocket Doppler packaged with a fetal probe because the product labeling includes a fetal indication for use that is not cleared under its 510(k).
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: Rubric level 2 covers voluntary precautionary recalls: the recall concerns an indication on the labeling that falls outside the device's clearance, and the source describes no defect or malfunction.
