What class recall is associated with a reasonable probability that use or exposure will cause serious adverse health consequences or death?

  1. Class I

  2. Class II

  3. Class III

  4. Class IV

The correct answer is: Class I

This answer refers to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) risk classification system for medical devices. The risk classification helps determine the level of regulatory control necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of a medical device. Class I represents the lowest risk, and Class IV represents the highest risk. In this case, Class I recall would indicate that there is a high probability that use or exposure to the medical device could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The other options, Class II and Class III, represent lower levels of risk. Class II recalls are initiated when there is a moderate risk that use of the device may cause serious health consequences, while Class III recalls are initiated when there is a low risk of serious health consequences. Therefore, choosing anything other than Class I as the answer would not accurately reflect the level of risk associated with use or exposure to the medical device in question.
