Medtronic Hancock II T510 Bioprosthesis Recalled for Incorrect Size Labeling

Medtronic is recalling 15 Hancock II T510 Bioprosthesis valves because they were mislabeled with an incorrect size. The actual valves are larger than indicated on the packaging.

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, which typically indicates a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The hazard is a labeling error (incorrect size) rather than a structural defect or contamination, and no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
