Answer 1

Class I that you see on the FDA recall page is actually a classification of the recall itself:

Class I - a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The device itself is Class 2. You can verify it by clicking on the "Pump, infusion" link on the FDA recall page here.
