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: This is a risk-of-harm medical device where temperature control loss could cause embryo degeneration requiring additional medical procedures. However, the source text explicitly states the device "may lead to" this outcome—indicating no illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the rubric, theoretical hazards with no reported incidents score at most 3.
