Medical device recalls fell by 21% to 284 in the third quarter of 2018, according to a report by Stericycle Expert Solutions. Machine failure was the top cause of recalls based on units, while software led the way based on numbers of recalls, the report says.
The total number of medtech recalls for Q3 was lower than the last two quarters but higher than the three quarters before that. Recalled units decreased 31% to around 29.4 million — the lowest since Q1 2017.
