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 an FDA Class II medical device with no reported illnesses or injuries. The contamination creates potential for serious complications in sensitive surgical applications including brain surgery, but no adverse events have been documented. Per the severity rubric, this qualifies as High because it is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
