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 an FDA Class II recall of a surgical device with a compromised sterile barrier. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the device's inability to maintain sterility throughout its 2-year shelf life poses an inherent risk of infection in the surgical setting, meeting the criterion for high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported.
