What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The hazard is a functional defect (calibration issue) preventing image visualization, which is a significant quality issue but does not explicitly report injuries or deaths, fitting the Moderate criteria for non-critical functional defects.
