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 critical cardiac device where system failures can delay, extend, or prevent necessary treatment. No injuries or illnesses are reported in the source, but the device poses a clear risk of harm during critical cardiovascular procedures, meeting the criterion for a High-severity recall.
