Cook Inc. is recalling 29 Pereyra Ligature Carrier 75 devices because their reprocessing instructions do not provide sufficient detail for cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization.

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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves insufficient reprocessing instructions for a medical device, which poses a risk of harm (inadequate sterilization) but does not meet the criteria for Class I (death/serious injury) or Class III (unlikely to cause adverse health consequences).
