What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (medical device software) where the hazard is incorrect patient marking, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

LAP of America Laser Applications, LLC is recalling 280 manuals for the CARINAsim MAN-1236 Rev 2 and CARINAiso MAN-1237 Rev 2 laser software. These manuals serve as operating instructions for laser systems used for patient alignment.

The recall was initiated because the operating instructions contain two safety-relevant errors. These errors create a potential for patients to be marked incorrectly during the alignment process.

The affected manuals were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and several countries in the Americas. Customers currently using the CARINAsim or CARINAiso systems should review the recall notice for specific instructions on how to address the errors in the operating instructions.
