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 risk-of-harm medical device where serious injury (inadequate ventilation in a ventilator patient) has not yet been reported. No hospitalizations or deaths are documented in the source, and the hazard is stated as theoretical ('may result'). Class II device recall with potential safety impact but no actual harm reported fits the 'High' severity category.
Plain-English summary
Breas Medical, Inc. is recalling the NIV Angled Mouthpiece with Notch 22M/15F, a respiratory accessory used with the Vivo 45LS ventilator.

The recall affects 215 units distributed nationwide and in Canada, with lot numbers 32304444, 32305269, and 32306017.
