China NMPA Product Recall - upper arm electronic blood pressure monitor

On March 26, 2020, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), through its Jiangsu Provincial Drug Administration website, announced a voluntary recall initiated by Jiangsu Lude Medical Electronics Co., Ltd. This action concerns their upper arm electronic blood pressure monitor, specifically identified by Registration Certificate Code: Su Xie Zhu Zhun 20152200121. The necessity for this recall arose from findings during a 2019 national medical device spot check, which revealed that the product's outer packaging did not conform to the prescribed standard requirements. This non-conformance, while related to packaging, led the company to implement a Class III recall, indicating a situation where the use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. The regulatory framework governing this action is the NMPA, emphasizing adherence to national medical device standards. Jiangsu Lude Medical Electronics Co., Ltd. is required to execute this voluntary recall, ensuring all relevant product models, specifications, and batches are documented in a 'Medical Device Recall Event Report Form' to effectively manage the retrieval and resolution of the affected devices. This proactive measure aims to uphold product quality and regulatory compliance.
