This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a potential sterility compromise in a medical device used in surgical procedures, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
