What this means for you

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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a potential loss of sterility assurance in surgical kits, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Resource Optimization & Innovation LLC is recalling 153 units of the Regard Custom Surgical Kit for Cardiovascular Surgery (Item Number 830054001, CV00625A - OPEN HEART A&B).

The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, indicating that use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
