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 Class II medical device recall without reported injuries or illnesses. However, it qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported. The device is critical to patient care (oxygen saturation monitoring) and lacks FDA clearance to verify its safety and effectiveness.
