Teleflex Medical Recalls RUSCH LASERTUBE Due to Partial Foil Separation
Teleflex Medical is recalling 2,325 units of RUSCH LASERTUBE (Rubber) because the laser guard foil partially separated or detached at the edges.
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 describes a partial separation of the laser guard foil without reporting any injuries, hospitalizations, or deaths. This aligns with a moderate severity rating for a defect that may compromise device function but lacks evidence of significant harm.
