What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text indicates the issue is related to added instructions for use rather than a reported defect causing injury or a high-risk pathogen, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary or labeling-related recall.

The recall involves 4,950 units that were distributed worldwide, including across the United States and numerous foreign countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and various European nations.
