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 injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a functional defect without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Transonic Systems Inc is recalling 6 units of the Transonic Flow Probe, 2 mm, Catalog Number HQC2MP. 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 probes are used to measure flow intra-operatively.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including the US, Canada, Japan, Russia, and The Netherlands. Users should stop using the affected probes and contact Transonic Systems Inc for instructions on return or replacement.
