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 risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the hazard is potential patient infection due to compromised sterility, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary
