FDA Comments:

On July 20, 2009, the company issued a press release to the media and sent a recall letter to all known customers. The letter:

  • explained the problem.
  • requested customers to:
    • remove the affected devices from service as soon as possible and replace them as necessary.
    • remove the heating element and the power cord to make the device unusable once removed from service.
  • emphasized these devices are NOT to be used, donated or sold for any other purpose.

Class I recalls are the most serious type of recall and involve situations in which there is a reasonable probability that use of these products will cause serious injury or death.

Health care professionals and consumers may report adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of these products to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by FAX.
