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 involves a mechanical defect in a medical device used in critical care settings that poses a risk of physical injury (falling object), but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
