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: This is a risk-of-harm medical device where sterilization efficacy cannot be assured, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. As an FDA Class II device without reported hospitalizations, it does not qualify for Severe classification.
