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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving medical equipment intended for healthcare professional use that was incorrectly distributed to residential customers. Although no injuries have been reported, there is a risk of harm from potential misuse by untrained home users unfamiliar with professional-level safety instructions.
Plain-English summary
The GoBed II MedSurg Bed, Model Number FL28 (Part #FL28EX), manufactured by Stryker Medical Division of Stryker Corporation, is a medical device intended exclusively for use in healthcare facilities. Thirty-three units have been distributed worldwide, including across the United States and to Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico, and Thailand.
These medical beds were distributed to residential customers for home use. The product labeling correctly identifies the intended use environment as healthcare facilities, but home users may not be aware of or fully understand the safety instructions and operation protocols designed for trained healthcare professionals. This distribution to an unintended and unprepared user population creates a potential risk of misuse and safety issues.
The affected units can be identified by specific serial numbers and UDI codes.
