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 medical device with a defect that can introduce air into a line, posing a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
