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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard is a potential leak in a medical device used for patient monitoring and blood sampling, which poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses.
