This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 medical device with potential microbial contamination, which poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
