Every line below is in FDA’s own words, with its source beside it. FDA’s terms are explained in FDA’s own words.
How serious is it, by FDA’s class?
Class II, the middle of FDA’s three classes.
“Products that might cause a temporary health problem, or pose only a slight threat of a serious nature. Example: a drug that is under-strength but that is not used to treat life-threatening situations.”
openFDA, in plain words, its enforcement report fields.
“Class II is a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
FDA’s rule, 21 CFR 7.3(m)(2), eCFR.

Which ones are recalled?
HS Hi-R NEO 900A Reference # 657 821 Serial # from 101 Product Usage: A wide range of surgical interventions are made possible through the modular construction and the diversity of the equipment and accessories. The operating microscope HS Hi-R NEO 900/HS Hi-R NEO 900A/HS Hi-R NEO 900A NIR and HS ALLEGRA 900/590/90 are designed for use in Ophthalmology and in other disciplines where a vertical line of viewing is required. Due to their high maneuverability, the HS ALLEGRA range of operating microscopes are qualified for further applications, in particular ENT- and reconstructive microsurgery are possible, because their line of sight can be tilted or adjusted horizontally. The HS ALLEGRA 590 is particular because of its multidisciplinary application possibilities.

What this record can’t tell you
- Whether your own one is affected: compare the codes, dates and numbers above with yours. When unsure, ask the firm or the store.
- Where it went after the firm’s first shipments. FDA’s words cover the firm’s initial distribution, and, in FDA’s words, “subsequent distribution by the consignees to other parties may not be included.”
- How many have been returned, corrected or destroyed: FDA’s report doesn’t say.
- Whether anyone was hurt or fell ill: the report doesn’t say.
- How current it is: openFDA publishes FDA’s Enforcement Report weekly, after FDA does, and a firm can announce a recall weeks before it appears there. openFDA’s own caution: “This data should not be used as a method to collect data to issue alerts to the public, nor should it be used to track the lifecycle of a recall.”
- A product with no recall here isn’t safe by that: FDA’s report lists the recalls FDA classified, and when.
