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: FDA Class II medical device. No hospitalizations, illnesses, or injuries explicitly reported in the source. The connector separation is a functional defect in a critical dialysis device that poses a risk of improper device operation, meeting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
