Degania Silicone is recalling Cardinal Health Jackson-Pratt Channel Drains because they may break during use, requiring additional surgery.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device defect that requires additional surgical intervention to remove broken parts from the patient's body, which constitutes a significant injury risk consistent with the 'Severe' rubric criteria.
