Our severity reasoning: This recall receives a High (3) severity rating because the manufacturing defect presents a risk-of-harm in a medical device (FDA Class II) where malfunction could disrupt critical pressure monitoring. No illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported in the source material, and the hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed.
