What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical—potential inaccuracy in measurement results from an out-of-tolerance servicing tool. No direct patient harm has been reported, making this a moderate-level precautionary recall.
