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, and the hazard involves a potential loss of sterility in a medical device used for invasive procedures, which presents a risk of harm even though specific injuries are not reported in the source text.
