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, and the defect results in incorrect readings rather than direct physical injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
Plain-English summary
Transonic Systems Inc is recalling 36 units of the Transonic Flow Probe, 3 mm, Catalog Number HQC3FMC. The recall is due to a software defect involving programming errors in the blood flow probes' EPROM.
The defect causes the flow meter to display "Used Probe" or "Irrelevant Use Number" when the probe is connected. Transonic received several complaints from users regarding these incorrect readings. The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia, and The Netherlands.
Users should stop using the affected probes and contact Transonic Systems Inc for instructions on how to proceed.
