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: FDA Class II recall for device malfunction with no reported illnesses or injuries. The manometer failure and mating issues represent a risk-of-harm from a defective medical device used in an invasive diagnostic procedure.
