Operational response
A Class I device recall indicates a strong likelihood of serious adverse
health consequence or death from continued use. Identify affected units
by serial number, lot, or GTIN against your inventory and against
implanted-device patient registry. Pull affected inventory from active
use immediately. For implanted devices, follow the recalling firm’s
patient-notification protocol; in most cases this requires informing
affected patients and their treating physicians directly.
