Recall Insight

This FDA Devices action (record #Z-0009-2022) was formally reported on October 13, 2021, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 7, 2021. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Ongoing. DJO, LLC is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Carlsbad, CA. Federal records indicate 67,485 units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Ultrasound gels and lotions manufactured by Eco-Med Pharmaceutical, Inc. may contain bacterial contamination. On August 18, 2021, FDA published a Letter to Health Care Providers to further address this issue: https://ww… Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide distribution - U.S. Nationwide distribution including in the states of ND, NJ, CO, HI, CA, MA, FL, GA, IN, WA, NY, TX, IA, TN, NV, LA, CT, VA, NC, WI, MS, OR, MI, AL, MN, VT, IL, OH, AR, NM, DE, PA, SC, AZ, MD…. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 5 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
