12 Class I on this pageClass I means the FDA judged there was a reasonable probability of serious harm or death. Check the lot numbers against anything you hold.
What the classes mean
The FDA sorts every recall into one of three classes. The class is the whole story. It is also the part people skip.
Class II is the bulk of every list here. That matters. A long list of Class II says something different from one Class I.
By class
By year reported
Checking whether it affects you
The lot or code number is what matters. Not the product name. A recall covers
specific lots. Yours may not be one of them.
Check the code on your package against the report. The FDA keeps the current
list at fda.gov/safety/recalls.

- Merlin@Home Software Model EX2000 v8.2.2 for Merlin@Home Transmitter Models EX1150, EX1150W, EX1100, and EX1100W. The Merlin@home Transmitters are a component of St. Jude Medicals (SJM) Remote Care System. These Merlin@home transmitters are used to retrieve information from the SJM implantable medical device (IMD) using RF telemetry. The data is then sent back to the Merlin.net Patient Care Network through a built-in modem or, alternatively, through a USB cellular adapter or a USB based Broadband Kit. The transmitted data enables clinicians to remotely monitor a patients IMD using a secure, encrypted, password-protected web site, thus reducing the number of in-clinic visits a patient needs to make to their physician. The transmitter monitors the patients device daily between scheduled follow-ups and can alert a clinician if it detects anything out of the norm.

Read these counts with three things in mind
A firm with more recalls usually makes more products. A contract packer runs
hundreds of lines. It will out-recall a company with one product whatever either
does. This is not a safety ranking.
Most recalls here are voluntary. A firm found its own fault and pulled the stock.
That is the system working. It lands in this database looking the same as a recall
the FDA had to push for.
Terminated means the FDA considers the recall finished. It is not a verdict.
It does not mean anyone was harmed.
