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: Risk-of-harm medical device recall where instruction documentation errors could impair laboratory calibration accuracy. FDA Class II classification with documentation/instruction errors rather than contamination or device defect, and no illnesses or injuries reported.
