CIRRUS HD-OCT Model 6000 imaging devices recalled for missing FDA pre-market clearance
Carl Zeiss Meditec is recalling 914 CIRRUS HD-OCT Model 6000 imaging devices. The manufacturer failed to obtain FDA pre-market clearance before selling the devices.
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: FDA Class II recall for regulatory non-compliance with no reported illnesses, injuries, or demonstrated safety defects. The hazard is theoretical (unverified safety/efficacy due to missing pre-market review) rather than a concrete defect, meeting the criteria for Moderate severity per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Carl Zeiss Meditec is recalling 914 CIRRUS HD-OCT Model 6000 imaging systems distributed across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
The recall is because the manufacturer failed to obtain pre-market FDA clearance before commercializing the device. Federal regulations require pre-market clearance for medical devices to verify safety and efficacy before sale.
