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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a device malfunction during a procedure, which poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries, hospitalizations, or fatalities, placing it in the 'High' category per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
