- Summary: Nidek Medical Products Inc. initiated a Class I voluntary recall of certain models of its Oxygen Concentrators, specifically the Mark 5 Niwo Lite STD, following a report forwarded by the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration to the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The primary reason for this significant recall, publicly announced on July 19, 2012, stems from a critical safety concern: potential fire hazards or a reduction in oxygen supply attributed to capacitor failure within the devices. The recall document, dated June 26, 2012, highlights the product's registration number, 国药恤我他游2010第2543203号, and clarifies that these concentrators are for prescription use only and not intended for life support. The scope of the recall involves products sold in China. An additional concern noted in the recall event report was the presence of foreign objects and the responsible unit in China, Shanghai Chongbang Medical Device Co., Ltd., indicating an inability to rectify the situation after obtaining agency rights, alongside an unresponsive Nidek Medical Products Inc. (USA) to the notification. In response to this serious safety issue, the NMPA has directed Food and Drug Administrations across all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities to enhance their supervision and management over such medical devices, reinforcing regulatory oversight to ensure public safety.
