Cardiovascular Systems Inc. is recalling 1,396 Saline Infusion Pumps that may switch to stand-by during use, requiring a reset to continue treatment.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 medical device with a functional defect that could interrupt treatment, but the source explicitly states that no patient harm has resulted from associated complaints, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
