Medical Devices Safety Recommendations
Register Your Products
Always register medical devices products with the manufacturer after purchase. Product registration ensures you receive direct recall notifications and can access remedies quickly if a safety issue is discovered.
Check Before You Buy
Before purchasing medical devices products, especially used items, check the CPSC and other relevant agencies for active recalls. This is particularly important for second-hand purchases where the original owner may not have addressed a recall.
Follow Usage Instructions
Use medical devices products only as intended by the manufacturer. Many safety incidents occur when products are misused or modified. Read and follow all safety warnings, instructions, and age recommendations.
Report Safety Concerns
If you experience a safety issue with a medical devices product, report it to the appropriate government agency. Your report could help identify a pattern that leads to a recall, protecting other consumers from potential harm.
