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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a labeling error regarding MR safety without reporting any hospitalizations or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling issue.

Ad-Tech Medical Instrument Corporation is recalling specific depth electrodes, including Foramen Ovale, Macro Micro, Spencer Probe, and Wyler Sphenoidal models. The recall involves 107,757 devices distributed nationwide and worldwide.
