TruSignal Wrap Sensor Oximeter Recalled for Defibrillation Failure

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification requires a minimum severity rating of Severe (4). The source reports no illnesses or injuries, which prevents a Critical rating despite the serious nature of the potential defibrillation and electrical hazards involved.
