Suture retention devices recalled with no reason stated in FDA record
DRS Vascular is recalling 264 Q-Stop Suture Retention Devices. The FDA enforcement record for this action carries a placeholder in place of a stated reason for the recall.
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: Rubric level 2 covers voluntary precautionary recalls; the FDA record states no hazard at all, so there is no basis in the source for scoring this higher.
