What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 involves a medical device with a functional defect that could compromise the integrity of the fluid administration system, representing a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported.
