Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
Hookup Model/Catalog Number: 2-8-540CAS Product Description: Hookups provide the interface between an Advantage Plus" Automated Endoscope Reprocessor and Advantage Plus" Pass-Thru Automated Endoscope Reprocessor ( AER ) and endoscopes, which allow perfusion of liquids dispensed by the AER to contact and high-level disinfect the channels of flexible endoscopes.
Why it was recalled
IFU for hookup were incorrectly reflected within hookup IFUs and online reference system, Hookup Lookup (HULU). Use of an incorrect hookup connection and/or parameter set may prevent an endoscope from being properly disinfected, which may present a risk of patient contamination or infection
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
