Ohio Medical Vacuum Regulator Recalled for Incomplete Quality Control Testing

Ohio Medical Corporation is recalling 11 Vacuum Regulator units because final quality control testing was not completed before distribution.

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 does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a procedural failure (incomplete testing) rather than a confirmed defect causing harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
