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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a medical device failure (no flow) that poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not explicitly report hospitalizations or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
