What a device recall record is
A recall is a correction or removal of a device already in distribution. Each record here is one product within a recall event: the event number, recalling firm, product description, FDA product code, reason, the firm's root-cause category, the status (for example Open, Classified or Terminated), the dates the event was initiated and posted, and distribution. Results are sorted by the date FDA posted the record, newest first, up to 25 at a time.
Search tips
Try the device type (infusion pump), the manufacturer, or the failure (battery, software, sterility). The search also checks the device name that FDA assigns from its product code, so a generic term such as pacemaker works even if the product description uses a model name.
Important limits
Many recalls are corrections, such as a software update or labeling change, and do not mean the device must be removed. If you have an implanted or home-use device, do not stop using it because of a search result: contact your clinician or the manufacturer first. FDA's own page is the authority: Medical Device Recalls. Health Canada posts device recalls on Recalls and Safety Alerts.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a medical device has been recalled?
Search the device type or manufacturer, then compare the model, lot or serial information with the record. Contact the manufacturer or your clinician for what to do.
Should I stop using a recalled device?
Not on your own. Many device recalls are software or labeling corrections. Follow the manufacturer and FDA notice and speak to your clinician, especially for implanted or life-supporting devices.
What is a product code?
A three-letter FDA code that groups devices of the same type, for example IZL, which appears on x-ray system records.
How current is this?
It follows openFDA, which can trail FDA's own recall pages. For urgent safety questions check FDA directly.
Reference information, not medical advice
This is a search of public FDA recall records. A match does not mean a product you own is affected, and no match does not mean a product is safe: the records can lag a recall announcement and do not list every lot. Check the product lot or code against the recall notice, follow the recalling firm's and FDA's instructions, and ask a pharmacist or clinician before stopping a medicine. In an emergency call your local emergency number.
