What this means for you

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

Plain-English summary

Invivo Corporation is recalling 38 units of the Xper Flex Cardio Physiomonitoring System, Model # 453564669081, Software Version 1.6.0.0388. The affected units were distributed in the Netherlands and are identified by specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
